Yes.

I don't think so.

In my opinion, you misunderstand the purpose of the glossary
(incidentally, this also occured to me regarding your previous patch to
it).

To me, the purpose of the glossary is to explain what a term _means_,
not how to _implement_ it.  We might put a link in there to the
respective manual section or snippet containing code, and an image for
illustration.  But the glossary itself does not seem an appropriate
place for code examples to me.
