This has been fixed.

Here I wasn't sure if Phil was trying to say that there was a syntactical
problem, or whether we just haven't get gotten around to filling in examples
everywhere we would like to have them.  

I scanned through the dictionary and I couldn't find any cases where there
wasn't at least a place holder for an example (that is to say, I couldn't see
any syntactical problems).  But there are indeed many places where we need to
add meaningful examples.  We will get to this after the dictionary content
issues settle a little more.
