I don't like hook_control. Far too generic. hook_router maybe.
I was thinking along similar lines: hook_route would be good IMO. "Routes" or "Routing" is the name of the Ruby On Rails equivalent of the "Drupal menu system". This would also be fitting, because Karoly's proposed improvements for 6.x will make the menu system more like RoR's routing system. Another possibility is hook_map or hook_mapping - since the job of the menu system is essentially to map URLs to callback functions. Then again, do we really need to rename hook_menu? Developers are very familiar with the current semantics, and a name change will cause more than a bit of confusion. I also think that hook_menu is about as good a name as any other. Cheers, Jaza.
