+ * This is an example that shows how to correctly set additional node properties
+ * that reside in a special "Props" field that is called "params". These show up
+ * in pw-dump as an array, like this:
+ *
+ *  "Props": [
+ *    {
+ *      ...
+ *      "params": [
+ *        "key1",
+ *        value1,
+ *        "key2",
+ *        value2,
+ *        ...
+ *      ]
+ *    },
+ *    {
+ *      "params": [
+ *        "additional_key",
+ *        additional_value,
+ *      ]
+ *    }
+ *  ],
+ *
+ * The correct way to set them is to construct a Props object that has a "params"
+ * property and inside that property add a POD structure with the key/value
+ * pairs listed in order.
+ *
+ * This example also parses the key/value pairs from a JSON array that is provided
+ * on the command line, so you can call this like this:
+ *
+ *  $ ./filter-chain-params NODE_ID '["key1", value1, "key2", value2]'
+ *
