Hi
Why not use <example> pragma in the way you propose for <examplar>?
Why we need two?
Apparently from the old discussion, people like <example> to prompt and
open the example
when this is something visual. This is ok for me.
In my proposal we can get the best of both worlds.
- instance to use in tests
- instance to learn and tweak with GTInspector
- examples that we can see opening.

Hi
In my projects I start to do the following:
I create <examplar> class method that returns an prototypical
instance.
I use such methods in my tests as fixture.
Then I would like to have nautilus presenting to me the <examplar>
with a little triangle and when I press
on them I get an inspector on them.
This way I get the same behavior than with default <example>
methods that open an widget, image....
If we agree on that
- I can take all the <example> and turn them if necessary into
examplar.
- extend Nautilus to send an inspect to the result of examplar
tagged method.
I think that we can achieve a lot in terms of discovery with such
simple changes.

PS: I reread the old thread and I think that this is a reasonable
approach that makes
the pro instances (like me) and the pro examples showing some
things (like me) happy.
