PARSE is a "bad" example, because it's the most powerful function in REBOL and
only little documentation exists to explain how it works.

This one shows a bit more, although that section of the book is not yet
finished:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/REBOL_Programming/Parse

I've built many real-life dialects, using PARSE (but you don't have to use
PARSE) to reduce access to a database from 5-10 lines of code to consequently 1-2
lines. Any dialect user, will be able to use my database, through a 3 minute
lesson.

A real life built-in example of a dialect is LAYOUT, the function that provides
the Visual Interface Dialect to render GUI elements on screen.
