It can be removed without affecting the suitability of the example table for resolving Issue 92. If @summary is later decided to be returned to the language, this example can be revised at that time and as a part of resolving Issue 32. It seems inappropriate to block issues that are merely tangentially related to other issues that one is personally invested in, when the resolution of the other issues does not materially effect the resolution of the issues at hand. ~TJ
