No. Typically the message returned by the hook may contain no-arguments
format specifiers such as %< and %>. Instead, to avoid such warnings you
need to add a new function error_at_no_args (location, message) that
accepts and processes only formats taking no arguments (and probably
aborts if given a format that needs arguments).
