What would you think about adding either a vendor extension or an include (similar to ReDoc-Inject to allow code examples (ie examples in the right hand column) in the description attribute of the top level info?

DigitalOcean's docs do this and it's quite handy:

Research direction

Done means a documented approach lets descriptions contain code examples that render in the right-hand column without breaking existing descriptions.
