I have the following definition:
(defmacro straight--functionp (object)
"Non-nil if OBJECT, an unquoted symbol, evaluates to a function.
However, if OBJECT evaluates to its own symbol value or t, then
return nil. This is useful for allowing a function to be called
with nil, non-nil, or a function object, without worrying about
the non-nil value being interpreted as a function: just call the
function with the quoted name of the argument, or use t."
(let ((object-sym (make-symbol "object")))
`(let ((,object-sym ,object))
(and (not (memq ,object-sym '(,object t)))
(functionp ,object-sym)))))
M-x checkdoc reports the following on the first line:
Probably "evaluates" should be imperative "evaluate"
This is wrong. How can I suppress this spurious warning, other than by
rewording the docstring? I know that checkdoc has
`checkdoc-symbol-words' for suppressing spurious warnings about unquoted
symbols, but there appears to be nothing similar I can customize in
file-local variables for this case.
