I did my own quick scan and found one use of i.e. that doesn't really fit,
in a sentence that has other grammatical issues:

- Due to the differences how ECPG works compared to Informix's
ESQL/C (i.e., which steps
+ Due to differences in how ECPG works compared to Informix's ESQL/C
(namely, which steps
are purely grammar transformations and which steps rely on the
underlying run-time library)
there is no <literal>FREE cursor_name</literal> statement in ECPG.
This is because in ECPG,
<literal>DECLARE CURSOR</literal> doesn't translate to a function
