Description

We should consider adding sample table data and the output of ReQL commands to every example.

This would likely require a widget with three tabs: example, sample data, and output. We should look at other complex APIs to find constructive examples.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by surveying the documentation examples and existing complex-API widgets, then define how example, sample data, and output should be presented for each ReQL command. Done means every example has representative table data and corresponding command output in the agreed widget format.
