I tend to agree with Udi: we seem to have no users/examples, and having
them picked up by the file manager seems to be more trouble than it's
worth.   One can still invoke them manually, so a compile-time option
even off by default seems like needless complexity, where the cognitive
load of its  mere presence is more than the benefit for the theoretical
(but as yet unidentified) user.
