-To construct an example which is as small as possible, the rule is
-quite simple: remove anything which is not necessary.  When trying to
-remove unnecessary parts of a file, it is a very good idea to comment
-out lines instead of deleting them.  That way, if you discover that you
-actually @emph{do} need some lines, you can uncomment them, instead of
-typing them in from scratch.

-There are two exceptions to the @qq{as small as possible} rule:
