The mail said it seemed strange that there was final bar-line in any
examples in the Learning Manual.
I don't think we need to respond to every single doc suggestion;
often users are unaware of the trade-offs we've chosen or are
particularly focused on their application domain ("why bother with
stuff for singers? the LM should only be about monophonic music
which is used for strings").
I would be tempted to simply insert \bar "|." into the longer examples
in the LM, with no explanation, so it is there for curious people to
find, and shows them what to look up in the index to learn more.
Either that, or add "alternate bar lines" to 2.4 Final touches.
