Few of the syntax check rules are technical in nature. They're largely
about enforcing our desired coding/style policies. Preventing reintroduction
of terminology we've just eliminated is totally in scope for what syntax
check does. The goal is to automate checks that humans are otherwise bad
at doing, because we'll easily miss this kind of thing in manual reviews.
