Description

Topic

Some examples seem rather repetitive, such as the second example here, which is more complicated that the initial example but not much simpler (one less argument) than the third.

I believe that examples should demonstrate something new and generally increase in complexity, though I'm not sure if this is the consensus of the community.

Is it worth combing through and looking for extraneous examples?
