It's not warning about style errors -- doc strings are written in a
markup language, and it's warning about errors in that markup language.
Putting "For instance, (setq foo 'bar)" in a doc string is wrong -- the
doc string displayed in *Help* will be syntactically wrong.

(And we use the byte compiler to report about a bunch of stylistic
problems, like the usage of save-excursion+set-buffer.)
