In the Snoopy, Dr. example, the instructions are basically telling us that
"Dr." is an integral part of this person's name. It's not an addition
being made to distinguish this name from others or added because the name
doesn't convey the idea of a person.
And I should point out that I don't believe that the RDA instructions that
I cited to arrive at the access point Snoopy, Dr. are really any different
from what we have had in AACR2 (see 22.1C, 22.8A, 22.11). The only
difference here is that they are being applied also to a fictitious
person.

First, I've read that "Dr." will no longer be allowed, under RDA, to
disambiguate headings. So perhaps the heading should be "Snoopy, Doctor".
Just commenting on this bit. Distinguishing terms for occupation and
field of activity that are added to personal names are enclosed in
parentheses according to RDA E.1.2.2. See also 9.19.1.6-9.19.1.7.
