Hm. Yeah, I'd rather have an example that does the right thing, I guess.

I'm still not happy with so much boilerplate, but since I haven't seen
a better alternative, I'm merging this into the master branch.
There's nothing stopping us from tightening it up more in the future.
If anybody has more stuff that I should look at, please open a pull
request or something?
