This section presents simple code examples which are (hopefully) useful in real life. Their main
purpose, however, is to demonstrate and explain certain programming techniques.

PS: The term "macro" sometimes shows up in URLs referring to the examples above,
or when explaining Lisp code. This is mostly for historical reasons. See
[[Blog.DefinePrivatePublic20070501][this blog entry]] for an explanation
why "macro" is usually the wrong name, at least for code written for
<nop>CoCreate Modeling.
