:But but... Many of the code examples have not been written with a "library" intent so as to be worthy of reliance in all (or even most) circumstances! Surely many have been written with a view to demonstrating the idea and especially for the examples only, rather than full generality with diligent attention to structure and interface and accuracy and speed and storage use and error testing and recovery and ... Indeed, in many examples it is stated that error checking is not wanted because the example input ''is'' correct. In other words, someone intent on implementing some algorithm for a serious purpose could well gain insight from the various demonstration routines, but ''must not hope to evade putting thought to the matter'' by copying in a "library" routine. And, in my case, I have provided at least one example (of valid code) with the remark "This will ''not'' work" - this in [[Jensen's_Device|Jensen's Device]] - and others may have done so as well... So, there seems to me to be no way to select suitable library-worthy examples without a great deal of human effort.
