Subject: [PATCH] Remove the EXAMPLES section that describes how to sort by
size using sort(1). This functionality is provided by the -S option now, and
it is useful even though a similar effect is achievable with sort(1), since
the latter doesn't work in combination with -h. This option is also present
in NetBSD, OpenBSD, and GNU fileutils, so there's clearly a demand for it.
