[development] hook_nodeapi()

[Fernando Silva]

node_load()
if ($extra = node_invoke($node, 'load')) {
foreach ($extra as $key => $value) {$node->$key = $value;}}
if ($extra = node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'load')) {
foreach ($extra as $key => $value) {$node->$key = $value;}}

node_save()
node_invoke($node, 'insert');
node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'insert');
node_invoke($node, 'update');
node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'update');

node_delete()
node_invoke($node, 'delete');
node_invoke_nodeapi($node, 'delete');

The conclusion is that the "nodeapi" is the way to do things, and that
the other way was just keeped as unnecessary compatibility, and should
be quickly deprecated.

Also, I think that
http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_nodeapi should be updated
to state that there is really no diference between those two APIs, and
that the later is much more complete than the former.

Thanks,
