This part is okay.

Please use "omitted" instead, it will be understood by more readers
whose first language is not English.  We use "omitted" in this context
elsewhere in the manual.

@defun renders its arguments in @code and @var, but you want the
brackets in the normal roman typeface.  So this should be

  @defun lookup_symbol name @r{[}domain@r{]}

Should we tell what happens if the symbol is not found?

Okay with those changes.

Thanks.
