That's what I was attempting to point out.
I think "for instance" should be written out in this case, or use an established abbreviation, or dropped entirely:
"This is useful if the object needs to be exported from a dynamic library."
"This is useful for intance, if the object needs to be exported from a dynamic library." (comma placement?)
"This is useful, e.g. if the object needs to be exported from a dynamic library." (comma placement?)
But I have never seen f.i. used anywhere in documentation. It took me several seconds to figure out what it was...

Not trying to start a "thing", but I am curious where "f.i." comes from. Is this a new thing?
I've honestly never seen it before.

"For instance" / "for example" are precisly the English translations of
exempli grati-a...
