    }
  }

  // The explicit cast forces a copy to be made.  This is needed because
  // $implementations[$hook] is only a reference to an element of
  // $implementations and if there are nested foreaches (due to nested node
  // API calls, for example), they would both manipulate the same array's
  // references, which causes some modules' hooks not to be called.

  return (array) $implementations[$hook];
