Change < to -f in examples with input files

To be portable, options must be before non-option arguments, so you need
to rearrange the command-line arguments in the examples if you want to
make that change.

Uh, how is it more expressive? The only difference I see is the line
numbers. Is that it?

That could be a very big deal in case of error on a large file, so
yes.

In IRC, I always recommend that ppl use -f, since it's so much more
useful :)

Applied. Thanks.

(I reordered the arguments as Peter suggested.)
