Well, that's a poor example, as neither form is needed when
there is a string of notes or s's.  So this particular issue
doesn't really arise in practice.

Actually, I don't think s1*0 appears in the docs.  Might be
in an LSR snippet, I guess.  But I've no problem with
documenting <>, as long as a realistic example showing
when it is useful can be found.
