It looks like we have a few ways to try to trim down the query result
output to save space on the page. In [1] we do:

I'm ok with the documentation being terse like this. If we were to
standardise on something, that would likely force those examples to be
much more verbose than they need to be. I don't think that verbosity
would add any additional value.
