It will not.  I wrote there that the hook will be written so that it
expects two elem array, where first item is data, and last item is a
flag.  Always.

The point is, it wouldn't be a part of the module interface.  Instead,
it's your, as a programmer, internal protocol.  I.e. it will be you
who will write such hook, and decide on the presentation, be it
[$data, $flag], or { data => $data, flag => $flag }, or something else
(like hook examining some global var).

I think this is more flexible that adding one more knob to the module
interface.
