It’s confusing that we have these two examples directories. Isn’t it time they

Since Isabelle2021-1 we actually have 4, with the following names and descriptions (in the session ROOT):

  Pure-Examples  --  Notable Examples for Isabelle/Pure.

  Pure-ex  --  Miscellaneous examples and experiments for Isabelle/Pure.

  HOL-Examples  --  Notable Examples for Isabelle/HOL.

  HOL-ex  --  Miscellaneous examples and experiments for Isabelle/HOL.


Here I have taken into account that ancient Isabelle lore did not transmit if "ex" means "examples" are "experiments".

We can certainly consolidate this further by promoting a few more "miscellaneous examples" to "notable examples": by moving them and putting them into proper shape.

We do need a bin for "miscellaneous examples and experiments", and I think the traditional "ex" directories are a good place for that.
