One point being you can't just evaluate the hook variable in

Set `print-readably' to t if you want to do such things.

Yup. Just what is gdb-highlight doing in NEWS anyway? Or do I want
to know?
It wasn't distributed with 20.4, was it? What more explanation is

Cool features are worth nil if they are not announced. And
gdb-highlight is *way* cool.
