check for obsoleteness in the correct buffers, otherwise a (harmless)
warning might be triggered.

Check buffer-local proc in the current buffer.

Check buffer-local proc in the current buffer.

repeated listing of situations leading to a syntax check.

"diagnostics/problems" and "regions" where appropriate.
