bug#7486: philosophical wishlist

[Kjetil Halvorsen]

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(9, which is invokes as
example(fun)

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

Extremely usefull!
