That's really good, Tim. I hope you continue with it :) AFAIC, just
about every function in core, set, zip and xml needs to be documented
by example. I'm just not smart enough to read the API docs of a lot
of functions and understand how to use them.
Some efficiency could be gained by demonstrating several functions at
once, clearly labeling them. An example without much thought:
(Heading) map, range
(map sqr (range 1 10 2)) ; after defining sqr
