That is why I asked if we could perhaps merge two pairs of examples :)
i.e. to reduce the "duplicated" boilerplate from the imports, and
perhaps a couple of the items/types that are the same too.

Either that, or you may want to hide them (but I am considering that
we may want to just never hide them (or always doing so) and thus
avoid the discussions that keep coming up on that).

As for using a different style for examples, I can see we could save a
few lines per example, but we would have to remember a different
convention and we would increase the risk of conflicts there (though I
reckon there may be not many conflicts there unlike the module
imports).

Cheers,
