+1.
The example will help, no doubt. But it would also
help to explicitly point out that this use (for
advice) of `interactive' is not the usual one.
What Michael said here:
Although we can with nadvice use the same syntax
for defining pieces of advice as for defining functions,
advices have a different meaning (semantic). The
interactive specs of advices are not exactly interactive
specs in the common sense - although they look similar,
they are related, but different features.
I think a short example would be good. Also, the term
"function" is a bit unclear here, maybe we should add
"a lambda expression or fbound symbol" or so, to make
clear that we don't mean a sexp that returns a function.

Yes.
