Why? The shorter the definition, the better. The definitions should be
precise and contain the needed definition, but not more. Often there
are longish key definitions that explain a certain usecase and
therefore restrain unneededly the use of keys/tags. Also examples
should not be contained in the definitions IMHO (they can go in an
example section but the definition shouldn't need them).
