Follow-up Comment #2:

However, rather than closing this bug as "Wont Fix," I'm repurposing it, in
line with the thread cited in comment #1.

As Branden says at the start of the thread:

> doc/webpage.ms is a nice example of how to do some fairly sophisticated

The most popular option (though with admittedly few ballots cast) of those he
listed was:

> Modify it to make it more obviously an example, removing everything
> that seems outdated or untimely.
