Oh, i forgot to mention what the point is.  The DESCRIPTION
contains a description of the grammar.  The only thing about
the grammer that is really tricky is the whitespace rules.
The rest doesn't really need examples for clarification, in
particular since the documentation of individual directives
already provide plenty.

Anyway, i didn't remove the example, i consider it helpful
for understanding the whitespace rules more easily, even though
you are not supposed to use them in that way.

I just added some text to that effect, thanks for pointing out
that HISTORY and AUTHORS were missing.

Yours,
