Rob Findley 9754a2aa86 examples: add an everything example, and simplify hello
Our 'hello' example should be as simple as possible. On the other hand,
we should have an 'everything' example that exercises (almost)
everything we offer.

Using the everything example, I did some final testing using the
inspector. This turned up a couple rough edges related to JSON null that
I addressed by preferring empty slices.
