I'm not a developer. I do think, even thought it is plainly written
there, that this is one place they should add another example - similar
to the one in question.

But thats what reference is! When you go to wikipedia (or any other
reference like a dictionary or an encyclopaedia) and you're reading
about "cars" it doesn't have a discussion there about the internal
workings of a diesel engine - you'd have to go look that up else where ;-)
Just my 0.02

I don't know, I think it could be improved but I also think it's pretty
good in the grand scheme of things. Much better than a lot of open
source and non-open source software.
