I want to run some function f after adding a hook to a mode and after running f remove the hook that I added, returning the result of f if there is one.

Here is a non-working version that I hope makes the intent clear:

(defun run-function-with-hook (mode-hook hook-fn fn)
  (add-hook mode-hook hook-fn)
  (message (concat "mode hooks before running: " (prin1-to-string (symbol-value mode-to-slowdown))))
  (funcall fn)
  (remove-hook mode-hook hook-fn))

  (run-function-with-hook 'org-mode-hook (message "opening org file") (message "opened org file"))

Is this a better fit for a macro? If so, perhaps the right answer to this is an answer using a macro instead.
