Here's what I do, FWIW:

(with-eval-after-load 'shortdoc
  (declare-function shortdoc-add-function "shortdoc" (group section elem))
  (mapc
   (pcase-lambda (`(,section . ,elems))
     (dolist (elem elems)
       (setq elem `(,(car elem) :no-manual t ,@(cdr elem)))
       (shortdoc-add-function 'foo section elem)))
   '(("Frobnicating"
      (foo-frobnicate
       :no-eval (foo-frobnicate)
       :eg-result-string "...")
      ...)
     ("Bifurcating"
      (foo-bifurcate
       :no-eval (foo-bifurcate)
       :eg-result "...")
      ...)
     ...)))
