I think that some files can justifiably be non-trivial and CC0/public
domain, notably
* code examples
* code that is used as a kind of customization but use API and a
  language

Therefore, I think that, even though it should be very rare, it probably
would help to have directions for such cases.

An example, in texinfo, the file tp/init/book.pm, very simple but not
exactly trivial, has this header:

# This file is in the public domain. Thus it may easily be used as an 
# example for further customizations.

If it is better to use CC0, this could be used instead for that file.
