In Common Lisp, #' is a reader macro that is an abbreviation for function. So #'foo is read as (function foo). I'm not at all sure what #' means in elisp, which is not the same programming language. A quick peek at the Elisp info file didn't find reader macros anywhere in there. AFAIK for defining hooks a symbol will be interpreted as a function name, won't it? So replacing all of the #'s with 's above would work, wouldn't it?
