+        * emacs-lisp/check-declare.el (check-declare-scan): Read the declaration
+        rather than parsing it as a regexp.  This relaxes the layout
+        requirements and makes errors easier to detect.
+        (check-declare-verify): Check file is regular.
+        (check-declare-directory): Doc fix.
+        * subr.el (declare-function): Doc fix.
