Applied. I made some more changes, in particular:

I removed this, because it would conflict with the other documentation
changes in this area going through the doc tree. I didn't think this
was important enough in the example to break the merge later.

I changed that a bit, moving the variables in.

and, more importantly, I removed this break - we need to look at all
interfaces now, not break after the first one with different BI.

removed the res variable too
