This read as if you are declaring that you use a template that
invented to consistently give intro for each example, and made it
look like the use of `see` was as a placeholder. It would have
avoided the "Huh?" reaction if it were phrased like so:
Steal how example to show the `see` trailer is phrased and use
it throughout:
Configure a `see` trailer ...
Other than that, this looks good.
