once finished i can generate a version cross linked to the result (had such 
one before). Actually, since i always use the

\startbuffer
example code
\stopbuffer

\typebuffer

\getbuffer

construct, most of the code you see in there is shown as is and typeset. 
So, there is not so much more to gain. A good example of context coding is 
the pdftex manual source code (on the site).

Also, there *are* examples of coding styles: see s-*.tex (and x-*.tex for 
angle bracket lovers)
