Philosophical wishlist.

 All the GNU coreutils commands should accept a new flag:
 --example

 Which should print a (half) screenfull of instructive examples,
 functioning as a reminder.

 This idea is taken from the project Gnu R (www.r-project.org).
 R has a command example, which is invoked as
 example(fun)

 and then runs the examples from the help-page of fun.

 Extremely usefull!
