Why stop at man pages examples, should go all the way to literate programming enabled examples with the help of CUE configs language [1].
Perhaps it's overkill for power users, but most of the users will probably find it handy for the tricky find tool and friends [2].
I think other Unix/Linux users will find the literate programming approach as more useful, intuitive and less error prone ways to complement The Linux Programming Interface book [3].
