The "examples" directory used to contain scripted versions of some of our builtins. These have all been removed in 49eb8d39c78 (Remove contrib/examples/*, 2018-03-25), but we left a note in the directory to make it discoverable that there used to be examples. It is unlikely that anybody still looks at these examples more than 7 years after they have been removed. Remove the note and its directory.
