I didn't realize that checkdoc is involved in this.  If the problem is
that it produces annoying diagnostics for \\[..], then I'm okay with
removing it or making it less frequent.

I was only talking about the manual.

My reluctance to delete that advice is unrelated to checkdoc or what
it does.  I don't want to remove that advice completely, as I already
said and explained.  But I'm okay with making the text be a more
general advice as opposed to some rigid rule.
