This would require to add unnecessary stuff to each example, making
every user think that they need that unnecessary stuff to write new
code.

I can't see anything really bad in adding 2 lines in a file for a new example.
Although I agree it's not beautiful, It's the least intrusive for each example.

IMHO at least.
