 * I have searched the forums and looked at the WordPress code that uses the function`
   current_filter()` but when I call it nothing is returned. I need to know which
   action/filter hook is currently active as I am trying to debug two plugins that
   I am developing. As background info: I have a PHP call to `strip_tags()` that
   allows user defined HTML tags. When the tag `<li>` is NOT stripped I get multiple
   action/filter callbacks to my plugins. When the `<li>` tag is stripped the multiple
   action/filter callbacks stop. Very weird! Something may be getting corrupted.
   I would like to know which action/filter is currently active to help in debugging.
