I haven't tought about this yet.  But IMHO it's no big deal if the usages
in our examples are "bogus"; in fact, the bogusness helps to show how
powerful and potentially dangerous the idiom is.

Anyway, you're obviously free to amend to example to make them less bogus,
if you still think this would be useful.  I have no strong opinion on the
matter.
