I think we should fix it with ALL of those, and note in the example
that they're all valid and all equivalent.  And, yes, add Cyrus's
suggestion, as well.  This is such a confusing area that the more
examples we give -- including ones that say "this isn't valid" or
"this doesn't mean what you probably think it means" -- the better.
