We have a bigger documentation team now than any of the other sites out
there. We have the resources and the structure to do a very good job on
this. The more examples we can put into the documentation, the better,
and if somebody wants to write some full tutorials, I see no reason for
not including them as long as they don't get in the way. That is, they
would be put into the appendix or into a separate chapter so as to not
interfere with the concise function reference.
