Before shaping a patch it is always possible to discuss the changes
you would like to do with the paragraphs you would like to introduce
as there is always room for improvements. No, it is hard to
understand how you would like to improve things, why it makes sense,
and why the current set of examples is not enough to explain what you
are looking for. The documentation needs to remain concise and a
maximum representative as well, so as any human reading it does not
get lost in a flow of useless information. Based on the information
given in your initial mail, it is not really possible to see how at
least one of those points can be actually improved, so you need first
to bring more precisions on the matter.
