No sillier than putting how to copy directory trees in the tar man
page or how to copy filesystems using dump.  If people are going to,
logically, look in grep(1) for a way to do recursive greps then
putting the example there is the "right" place.  The man pages are
there to help people use the tools - showing people how to use the
tools efficiently would make the man page, IMHO, even better.  I know
I always appreciated the little examples in the tar(1) and dump(1) man
pages.
