Will the following be acceptable for you?

        `*' (check not read-only)
            `barf-if-buffer-readonly'
        `d' (point)
            `point'
        `i' (nil)
            `nil'
        `m' (mark)
            `mark'
        `n' (number)
            `read-number'

etc.  If this is okay, you could try @table instead of @itemize.
