Oh, I just re-read this. This is similar to what I was thinking.
Just a few changes:
. Don't rely on both a preamble and a postamble (postambles are
optional)
. all consecutive verbatim paragraphs after a "=end example_preamble"
would be a single set of code to test.
. Better names than "example_preamble" and "example_postamble" ... How
about "test_init" and "test_end" (or "test_test" :-)?
