Description
Currently the section on Starting workers is quite brief. I guess all the information is there, but there is no example of a machine-file. For example, I currently do not understand how to specify the number of workers to start at each machine. Assuming user is user1 and host is host1 and I want to start 2 workers there, is it:
2 user1@host1
2*user1@host1
This would be cleared up with a simple example in that section.

Research direction
Start with the Distributed.jl manual's “Starting and managing worker processes” section and inspect the machine-file syntax it documents or references. Add a minimal example showing how to request two workers for user1@host1, making the syntax and resulting worker count unambiguous.
