Absolutely!  However, Darren's idea of partial, well-annotated
examples have a different effect than whole examples (even if
they're well-annotated).  So, Marcus' list of 'features to
demonstrate' have the character of the O'Reilly "XYZ by example"
books.  That may be the only part of the documentation space
we haven't at least made some progress on.
