Agree, although on re-reading I think the purpose of this snippet is to
explain how one would invoke Spark programmatically via `SparkConf` (or else
the whole thing should go away). It is something you might want to do in a
Scala program, and might even want to pop into a Scala REPL (i.e. not
`spark-shell`). I suggest leaving it; am I really off-base on that?
