Ed Page bfa02fd418 test: More thoroughly test examples
This ports our example testing over to [trycmd](https://docs.rs/) so
we can:
- More thoroughly test our examples
- Provide always-up-to-date example usage

The old way of testing automatically picked up examples.  This new way
requires we have a `.md` file that uses the example in some way.

Notes:
- Moved overall example description to the `.md` file
- I added cross-linking between related examples
- `14_groups` had a redundant paragraph (twice talked about "one and
  only one"
