<quote> This hook is invoked when someone calls token_replace(). That function first scans the text for [type:token] patterns, and splits the needed tokens into groups by type. Then hook_tokens() is invoked on each token-type group, allowing your module to respond by providing replacement text for any of the tokens in the group that your module knows how to process.
A module implementing this hook should also implement hook_token_info() in order to list its available tokens on editing screens. </quote>
I think it should be fixed but it shouldn't hurt for the time being.

I have been trying to work with a [popular] contributed module. I have found a few things that were less than well converted to D7. One that I am trying to decide whether or not to fix is in hook_tokens(). In this hook, the second parameter indicates which token replacements are being requested. This implementation still returns ALL token values, as one did in D6. If you look, for example, at system_tokens(), it looks like the "correct" function would return only the requested tokens. Returning them all should still work, but I am concerned that at some point in the future this might become an error.
Do you think a significant overhaul in this module should be done, or is it okay to leave it as is and return all possible token replacements?
