Well, I don't find it tenuous at all. A docstring, for example, that
says "When the buffer is in `foo-mode' do that" does not make much
sense. The buffer cannot be in foo-mode, it can be in Foo mode, which
is activated by function foo-mode.
But I'm neither able nor wanting to impose my opinion.

I often write "Docstring typo fix" as a shorthand. Sometimes they are
typos, sometimes infelicities, sometimes just whitespace changes.
Please don't be offended by my word choice in ChangeLog entries.

Then, by all means, change it to your liking. Not worth discussing
about such a trivial matter, IMO.
Thanks,
Juanma
