And so will all the ones after it, no, since we'll renumber them?
Or are you seriously suggesting that we *never* update any of the
examples, that if we delete 5.1.3 we leave 5.1.2 and 5.1.4 with the
same numbers they had before, even we end up with a section with
5.1.2, 5.1.2-2, 5.1.5, and 5.1.8 ? If that's what you're suggesting,
wouldn't *named* examples be infinitely better?

You seem to be failing to understand what I'm proposing.  I'm
proposing auto-generating *exactly the same numbers we have now*.

If we add or delete an example in the middle, yes, the numbering
will break, but as you've just admitted, that's true right now.  At
least, I sincerely hope that's what you've just admitted.

I'm just saying that a human shouldn't be in charge of updating all
the internal references when that happens.

What is it you think I'm proposing that will break links?
