You'd need to be careful and account for the possibility that a
just-off-the-press linter may not be complete, though ;-)

My go-to example has been git-commit.adoc where it has things like:

    `--`::
            Do not interpret any more arguments as options.

    `<pathspec>...`::
            When _<pathspec>_ is given on the command line, commit the contents of
            the files that match the pathspec without recording the changes
            already added to the index. The contents of these files are also
            staged for the next commit on top of what have been staged before.
