 ##### Reason
 
 Documentation, readability, opportunity for reuse.
 
 ##### Example
 
-    ???
+    struct Rec {
+        string name;
+        string addr;
+        int id;         // unique identifier
+    };
 
-##### Example, good
+    bool same(const Rec& a, const Rec& b)
+    {
+        return a.id==b.id;
+    }
 
-    ???
+    vector<Rec*> find_id(const string& name);    // find all records for "name"
+
+    auto x = find_if(vr.begin(),vr.end(),
+        [&](Rec& r) {
+            int (r.name.size()!=n.size()) return false; // name to compare to is in n
+            for (int i=0; i<r.name.size(); ++i) if (tolower(r.name[i])!=tolower(n[i])) return false;
+            return true;
+        }
+    );
+
+There is a useful function lurking here (case insensitive string comparison), as there often is when lambda arguments get large.
+
+    bool compare_insensitive(const string& a, const string& b)
+    {
+        int (a.size()!=b.size()) return false;
+        for (int i=0; i<a.size(); ++i) if (tolower(a[i])!=tolower(b[i])) return false;
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    auto x = find_if(vr.begin(),vr.end(),
+        [&](Rec& r) { compare_insensitive(r.name, n); }
+    );
+
+Or maybe (if you prefer to avoid the implicit name binding to n):
+
+    auto cmp_to_n = [&n](const string& a) { return compare_insensitive(a, n); };
+    
+    auto x = find_if(vr.begin(),vr.end(),
+        [](const Rec& r) { return cmp_to_n(r.name); }
+    );
 
 ##### Note
 
 whether functions, lambdas, or operators.

+##### Exception
 
 * Lambdas logically used only locally, such as an argument to `for_each` and similar control flow algorithms.
 * Lambdas as [initializers](#???)
