I admit I do not intend to make a big fuzz about a tiny example script.
In the Blends Git on Salsa I just trow any "example" query I use in
Blends for inspiration for other queries.  I'll keep it for the only

other people using it (which seems to happen now after three years ;-) ).

That's what the Blends tasks pages are using.
