So is there some reason for the igor name?  Why not doc-lint or something
that someone would have some chance of finding?

I like the program, especially this:

     -e      Verify that sentences start on a new line.  mdoc(7) does not
             enforce this, it is a style issue.

because that style means that if you version control your docs you get
much nicer diffs.  I've got a little perl script that does that for me.
