On a second thought, may be my version of reverse filter does fit into 
the test suite (and not examples) because then we can do edge testing 
(sending lines of size close to the buffer size), whereas it won't DWIM 
with the current simple reverse filter.

I'm starting to produce real example, so hopefully soon things in t/ 
will be used strictly for testing.

But won't it again make the example bloated? e.g., because you have to 
supply some html which is not easily absorbed.

May be another idea is to do something like a template expansion engine. 
So you have [DATE] and [URL] placeholders and they get replaced by the 
filter with real values? I think this can be made very concise and clear.
