The intention is to improve the comments to make it more
understandable (the weight calculations, factor of 1.25 etc).

On reading through the comments the first time, I felt they could be
improved. Is your concern more about the addition of an example
increasing the word-count? Perhaps you'd rather this be added to
Documentation/ instead?
