For the record, I'd tend to be with Paul on this one. It may be 
different if it's in a different section, and presented independently. 
On the other hand, it might be better to tighten up the expository style 
(separate text and source more), or to extract code blocks into 
functions so that each piece can stand on its own.

BTW, do we have the possibility to add line numbers to source code 
blocks? That can often be very handy.
