Yes I think that is a good use case. It has the benefit of being concrete and useful, yet there is less notion of "time", which is a difficult part of programming. There are a bunch of academic papers about "example-based data cleaning", but I don't know much about them. I think the idea is that you provide examples and the system tries to deduce a data cleaning function. Of course, if you do this for the user, then they might learn fewer programming concepts, but be able to get the job done more quickly. So it's a tradeoff.
