Adding an example would help to certain point, but beyond that certain
point it becomes unnecessary noise that talks the obvious. If you saw the
question asked many times in the real world, that would be a good
indication that this patch falls into the "helpful" category, not "noise".
Will queue.
I wonder if there are other manual pages with <thing>... notation that
benefits from similar changes, though.
Thanks.
