I suggest a beautiful method to do this. Use WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED from

Well, that isn't that difficult to implement... but it doesn't force 
people to write useful documentation (it just forces people to make 
the check happy by adding /** xxx */ to every function).

Well, this is documentation indeed. It should be read as: "I didn't 
bother". I'm not saying that all functions, even the trivial ones should 
be documented. As usual, common sense applies . A function 
add_one_to_number(number) does not need documentation. Well, then 
document /** obvious */. It is no asking for too much.
