One solution could be to have @smallbook set @example, etc.
with a small size anyway.  A warning can be added in the
texinfo for people to remove calls to the @small versions
and eventually remove their use after a year or so.

I tend to find Warnings useful as I can go change my commands
at the time I am modifying the files and running the texinfo
programs.
