Even though the example would be commented out, that's defying the “best 
practice” of the only code in local.bro being @loads — it generally simplifies 
the upgrade procedure both for a user that wants to use the new upstream 
version and for a dev/maintainer that wants to set new defaults for things.

Maybe putting the example closer to the Notice::policy documentation (either 
within the Broxygen comments or the general Notice Framework docs) is better.  
There, it’s easier to regression test, more likely to be changed if a dev makes 
incompatible changes to notice scripts, and more accessible to users.
