I don't think it's a good idea to train users to look at regression
tests for code samples; test code tends to be evil, and when it's not
evil often it's doing things that are subtly wrong or nonsensical,
because such code (being unexpected) often triggers bugs.
/usr/share/examples seems like a better place.
