Hi,

If you attache a certain action such as "result openInWorld” to a pragma such 
as <interactiveExample>, it implies that when I have a different resulting 
object that should be spawned with a different message (for example, a Roassal 
view should be opened with "result open"), I should use a different pragma. 
That will quickly lead to an explosion of pragmas.

Cheers,
Doru
