I think it's silly to remove such a great thing from the documentation
just because it's hard to maintain.

It's really nice when you read something that the code is right there.
(consider reading "The C++ Programming Language" by BS with a seperate
code-section you have to refer to all the time.)

So I "vote no", this will lower the quality of the "programming in
gtkmm" book quite a bit.
