This looks good.  I wonder about the effect of grep in there--that only
filters the exit messages, doesn't it?  I think it would be better to
have them included and not have the grep there, so that it doesn't look
as if it's hiding something important.


I would also put the whole example in a section of its own, presumably
named "EXAMPLE", or maybe "SYMBOL FILTERING EXAMPLE".  That should only
come after the "FILTERING EXPRESSIONS", as conceptually it builds on
what's written there.  It would however be good to refer to this new
section from -e, -x and -l.

Thanks,
PM
