It'd be nice for extensions to register from a hook so they don't cause ResourceLoader.php and Resources.php to be loaded on every single request.
Something like... // Allow extensions to register modules wfRunHooks( 'ResourceLoaderBeforeRespond', $context ); ...inside of ResourceLoader::respond().

Because there are more ResourceLoader:: functions that use registrations, I'd prefer having a function called by all such entry points that then calls this hook once and only once. In practical terms, something like protected static function getHookRegistrations( $context ) { static $done = false; wfRunHooks( 'ResourceLoaderRegistrations', array( $context ) ); $done = true; } Then in all functions using the registration data (including respond(), but also other functions reading from self::$modules), call this function.
This has been done for a while now. The hook is called ResourceLoaderRegisterModules.
Then why isn't it documented in doc/hooks.txt ?
It is as of r73686 - thanks for noticing.
