Description

OpenAPI has a pretty rich interface to provide examples of path, query, and body inputs and responses.

It would be cool to allow developers to specify these. It could make sense to do this in the endpoint macro or with the structures for path, query, body, and response. The former might get a bit redundant, but may also allow for more highly tailored examples that pertain not just to a struct (that may be reused with multiple endpoints) but to the specific endpoint.

In either case, we can validate the example against the struct/schema to make sure the example isn't invalid.

Research direction

Start by reading the endpoint macro and the structures for path, query, body, and response mentioned in the issue. Compare how each could accept endpoint- or struct-level examples, then determine how schema validation would fit. Done means developers can specify OpenAPI examples for these inputs and responses and invalid examples are rejected.
