I think I misinterpreted your sentence in one of the other mails (found below),

    That sounds like a sample that is there not because it would be
    useful, but because we couldn't think of any useful example.

Removing it is going to be done for sure. I thought it would be even better to replace it for the reasons I specified previously. Anyways, in case the last path I sent[1] seems not to be useful and not other interesting alternatives turn up in this thread then the "simplest option" has to be chosen.
