I am not quite sure I figured out what this is supposed to do. I guess
this is because I never run any code longer than a line from the main level.
In any case, if I happen to write a program longer than 50 lines, I try
to write an intelligeable header or even an HTML page for it, with
examples of use and explanations. If the code is shorter than 50 lines,
it is assumed to be self-explanatory. Using a main level example seems
insufficient for any modestly complex program.
I do not mean to say it is bad for any reason. Just to say I personally
don't really see any use for it.
Cheers,
Pavel
