Be more disciplined about tagging 2 different concepts in the codebase:

a) Use the phrase "later layers" to highlight places where a layer
doesn't have the simplest possible self-contained implementation.

b) Use the word "hook" to point out functions that exist purely to
provide waypoints for extension by future layers.

Since both these only make sense in the pre-tangled representation of
the codebase, using '//:' and '#:' comments to get them stripped out of
tangled output.

(Though '#:' comments still make it to tangled output at the moment.
Let's see if we use it enough to be worth supporting. Scenarios are
pretty unreadable in tangled output anyway.)
