-/// A trivial implementation of `Add`. When `Foo + Foo` happens, it ends up
-/// calling `add`, and therefore, `main` prints `Adding!`.
+/// This example creates a `Point` struct that implements the `Add` trait, and
+/// then demonstrates adding two `Point`s.
 ///
 /// ```
 /// use std::ops::Add;
 ///
-/// struct Foo;
+/// #[derive(Debug)]
+/// struct Point {
+///     x: i32,
+///     y: i32,
+/// }
 ///
-/// impl Add for Foo {
-///     type Output = Foo;
+/// impl Add for Point {
+///     type Output = Point;
 ///
-///     fn add(self, _rhs: Foo) -> Foo {
-///         println!("Adding!");
-///         self
+///     fn add(self, other: Point) -> Point {
