I'd love to get a man page like that but all too often they don't list examples near the top like that. If I open the tar man page for cygwin (probably an older one) I get a bunch of stuff about unix style and gnu style usage, then some irrelevant notes (where the full manual is), then a long winded description about how "tar -xvf" is the same as "tar -x -v -f", then the full descriptions of each option.
It sounds like this project moved in the right direction and made the man page more efficient than googling, but many others haven't.
