Re: module name for a tutorial or example or sample module
It's already a common convention for module authors to have an 'eg' directory which contains examples. How about making this into a top level namespace (Generally top level namespaces are discouraged, but in this case it might be beneficial and encourage other authors to place more robust and visible examples).
