Um, I just created one.  I think this *used* to be true, and this bit of
the docs didn't get fixed.  If I back-patch this, I'll have to research
when it changed.

Not sure if that's an improvement.

I was modeling that on the existing pattern in create_function.sgml,
which has similar verbiage in the EXAMPLES section.  But I suppose
we could drop that if we have a link in the description section.
