Awkward question.  The easy answer is that this manpage doesn't have an
example-section yet.  I don't think adding that rule on it's own would
help.  For one, it begs an explanation of what set the by-id SYMLINK in
the first place.

I will have a look at the lonely docs/writing_udev_files.  Maybe it
could fit in there.

Thanks
Alan
