If you could, it would be awesome to invest in a check that the provided
examples compile with the current release of the compiler (possibly as part
of the documentation generation).

This not only guarantees that the examples are up-to-date, but also helps
in locating out-dated examples.

On the other hand, this may require more boilerplate to get self-contained
examples (that can actually be compiled), so YMMV.
