I think that making the docs tools more robust, and avoiding the forcing
of code changes to make the tools happy, are good things, so I am
inclined to accept this change.

Omokefe, I have to ask: did you write this patch yourself, or was there
LLM assistance as well?  In the latter case, it needs an Assisted-by
tag.
