Currently, lisp-mnt.el has the functions lm-commentary-mark, which
returns the beginning of the commentary section, and lm-commentary,
which returns the comment section as a string. checkdoc.el cannot use
the latter function as it uses ispell for spell checking and, as I
understand it, ispell only works on buffers. So checkdoc.el
additionally needs the end of the commentary section (as a buffer
position). We could introduce lm-commentary-end for this purpose and
let lm-commentary use it (as well). The way lm-commentary now
determines the end of the commentary section is not very robust,
though. It depends on the presence of a ChangeLog/History or Code
header. Maybe we should let lm-commentary-end fall back to my method
of finding the end of the commentary section (i.e., skipping over all
whitespace and comment lines) in case the aforementioned headers are
absent?
