I wish it was that simple:

\relative c'' {
  c2 d \octave c'
}

foo.ly:2:7: warning: Failed octave check, got: c''
  c2 d 
       \octave c'


I understand the old docs now; \octave c' inserts a fake note and
checks the relative octaves before and after it.  Argh, what an
annoying function.  :(

(given that nobody's complained about this section, evidently
nobody uses this functions anyway...)
