Thanks for the tip. I started finding more similar problems, then
hauled out checkdoc and started using that, and fell down a rabbit hole.
I have a long flight on Sunday, I might try to do a full documentation
sweep then. What Gnus really needs is docstrings where it currently
doesn't have them, but this would be an okay start.
