And I agree with your approach.  The only problem I can see really
(besides those in the coding convention ;-), is that when a
test fails, the testing is aborted.  That is unfortunate when
I want to leave one argument unmentioned but would still want
to check that the symbols are properly quoted.

Also that means that C-u checkdoc-current-buffer RET does not
actually list all the issues.  Maybe there's a way to configure
it differently, but it I didn't see it.
