Yes, this would help.
What do you think about also adding other checks to this target, like
a check to ensure that source files don't use TAB characters or
trailing spaces, maybe your spelling and grammar checks, a test to
ensure that there are no syntax errors in .m files, and other things
like that? Or should those checks be separate from "make check"?
