I like this approach.
I've added the simplest case at the top.

At the risk of being too verbose,
I've added all combinations to the 'unpaired lines' section,
and also added the examples from your website to a new section "Set operations
on files".
Comments very welcomed,

P.S.
I'd also like to suggest to few texinfo commands to disable the directed
quoting in examples
(which cause single-quote ASCII 0x27 to be rendered as a unicode character).
This makes copy&pasting from the HTML/PDF manual quite annoying.
Because these texinfo command is not available on older versions,
a slightly complicated hack is required, as done in 'sed':
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/sed.git/tree/doc/config.texi
If you agree,
I'll add these commands, and wrap some '@examples' with these
'@codequotebacktick' commands.
Also,
If anyone has a better solution to disable directed quotes in @examples
globally - I'm very happy to use it.
