I'm not necessarily saying ditch the examples section -- but its
presence made it fairly noticeable that the rest of the page did not
describe how pacman-conf's directive parameter functions (nor indeed
that without it, it will flatten the configuration and return all of it
for you).

OTOH maybe we could go wild and delete stuff from the pacman manpage
too... who doesn't like deleting things...
