This is a feature that is acceptable. But I do not like using an 
option=() value to decide whether to run it.  I would prefer a "--check" 
option to be added.   Then people can choose to run the check function 
or not without requiring to edit the PKGBUILD.  If they always want 
check() to be run, an alias for makepkg can be used.

Also,

That is unrelated to the patch...
