Don't get too hung up on this particular sentence. The issue is more
the overall impression I got after skimming the current draft version
combined with the interop spec, which felt inconsistent. Maybe the
introduction is fine and just some legacy examples need fixing. I'll
make suggestions when I can pinpoint exactly what trips me up. Let me
ask a few more dumb questions first to make sure I get things right.
