Note: the usual way of doing this is to find examples in the standard
library.  It's not perfect, but the stdlib is generally pretty good
code to start with, and is written with a fairly consistent style.
Yes, those two features makes finding syntax that makes the stdlib
more readable a pretty high barrier.
