Re: [development] How to validate a $node?

      With no claim that it's the Right Way(c)

    $node->teaser = node_teaser(theme('syndicator_published_content',

might be unnecessary
$node_options = variable_get('node_options_' . $node->type, array());
    $node->comment = variable_get('comment_' . $node->type, 2);
    unset($node->nid);
    $node = node_submit($node);

    module_invoke('node', 'save', $node);

- and the real question: how does the following sequence of 4.6 translate
into 4.7:
$node->type = 'story';
$node->uid = 1;
$node->title = ''; // invalid empty title!
$node->body = ''; // invalid empty body!
$node = node_validate($node); // if life was only that
// that easy in 4.7...
if (form_get_errors()) {
  // we detected the error... do something
  unset($GLOBALS['form']);
// note: we unset $GLOBALS['form'] so the next time we

  // If something like this would be possible in 4.7 it
