Huh. I've been around far longer than that, and this is the first time
I even knew that was *possible*.

Not what I meant. I meant, include an example early, rather than later,
because people who are reading instructions are the people who *don't*
know what the right thing to do is already.
It's the general idea of "the first time you use a term, define it".
With your change, the first time an example of running configure is
needed, is now earlier in the document.
Agreed that there's no need to mention all the non-supported ways of
doing things.
