There are quite a few places in Emacs where things
are done in a less than ideal or conventional way.
Nothing-wrong versus room-for-improvement, perhaps.

FWIW, to me, *Help* output like this, for
`whitespace-toggle-option-alist', is less than ideal:

-----------------------------
Alist of toggle options.

Each element has the form:

   (CHAR . SYMBOL)

Where:

CHAR	is a char which the user will have to type.

SYMBOL	is a valid symbol associated with CHAR.
	See 'whitespace-style-value-list'.
-----------------------------

This is clearer, IMO:

-----------------------------
Alist of toggle options.
Each element has the form (CHAR . SYMBOL), where:
 CHAR   is a char which the user will have to type.
 SYMBOL is a valid symbol associated with CHAR.
        See `whitespace-style-value-list'.
