Should we be using something different in this example then?

I don't really understand these options but it seems that as it says:

--snip--

One solution to this problem is to use the functions mmrest-of-length
and skip-of-length... etc.

--snip--

Implying other solutions...however looking at what you suggest here:

Seems more complex. But I am sure this is not in context of the
example in the doc.

If there is anything you can suggest I can update the example/para in the doc.
