This completely broke it.  It is supposed to look exactly like C source.
Now the following are wrong:
- comments.  There are no longer enough good examples.
- tabs.  All messed up by a indent of 5 spaces.
- handling of long lines.  Would have been messed up by the indent of
  5 spaces if there were enough examples other than comments.
- code fragments in comments.  The example kept syntax errors out of
  the code.
- checkability.  The example was close to being compilable.
