You would also have to assume that all the examples are non-destructive,
and that no one ever extends an example in a destructive way.  This
seems like a non-starter.  Better to provide the sample database in a
form in which it can be easily dropped/reloaded.  I'm envisioning that
there's a source file in $sharedir and we tell people
createdb examplepsql -f $sharedir/example.sql example
