Tatoeba + Wiktionary

It costs nothing to be specific, and doing so works better in the Tatoeba context, where the basic unit is a sentence that should be able to stand on its own without mental contortions to screw out a possible meaning from an otherwise meaningless sentence. Let's eschew the baroque and make things easy for language learners.
