I've added this to my to-do list for when the indices are back. I may do little or nothing.

I get 3087. I should have checked before deleting the entry. The options are:
(a) do nothing. Those sentences won't be picked up by 成る/なる, but there are already another 1535 sentences indexed to it.
(b) reindex those 3k sentences. Not a trivial task.
(c) reinstate this entry. I'm not sure anyone really wants that.

I guess I can give way on this. I've put a kana version into the pool used for text glossing.

I think I agree with Rene's 5 year old view that this entry isn't needed - this is already covered by the なる entry. I'm not really 
convinced it's helpful to beginners, either. If they need this type of guidance, I'd much prefer to have a note on sense 1 in the な
る entry reading something like "usu. as ...になる". With all entries like this one, the risk is also we lead beginners into thinking 
the verb is "になる" rather than "なる" (sure, the entry is marked "exp", but if this entry is to help beginners who don't even know 
the meaning of に, do you expect them to be aware of the finer points of our PoS tagging system?). 
If we choose to keep it though, I can't really see why "becomes" etc. would be better than "to become"? They're essentially the same 
but the infinitive form is how we usually gloss senses with a verb PoS.
