In the previous thread I argued against <exemplar> and for <sample>, but I'm not so strong in my conviction to push it again :). The former is a little exotic, but is sufficient -- and perhaps its useful <example> and <exemplar> sound similar with just a minor difference at the end. P.S. In terms of discover-ability about this difference, a passing thought is it would be nice for newcomers to be able to hover over a code like a pragma and get a tool tip popup. cheers -ben
