Log message:
Add an EXAMPLES section.
I admit this is unusually long for a manual page. But that's not my fault
as a documentation author. An example in a manual page ought to be minimal
to show what needs to be demonstrated, and this example is minimal in that
sense. Making it shorter without loosing important aspects does not seem
possible.
When an API is poorly designed, one of the consequences is that that
documentation becomes harder to understand and often longer - in this
case to the point of becoming outright intimidating. If people dislike
that, they should design better APIs in the first place rather than
blasting the poor manual page for being too long or too complicated.
OK tb@
