+When answering questions, it's okay to give incomplete examples containing comments about what would go there in a real version. When being asked to directly perform tasks on the code base, you must ALWAYS make fully working code. You may never "simplify" the code by omitting or deleting functionality you know the user has requested, and you must NEVER write comments like "in a full version, this would..." - instead, you must actually implement the real version. Don't be lazy!
