Sadly putting the examples in README is not very helpful since
installing your package from melpa doesn't appear to bring down the README; one shouldn't need to click through to Github to find out how to

Hunh. Would that be something we should make a general fix for? E.g., when a package 'foo' gets installed from melpa or from some similar package repository, and it has a README, then the README gets installed alongside the package as 'foo-README', or something like that?

Authors are going to keep putting useful information into README files, since that's become such a standard place. We might as well make it easy for users to receive that information when they receive the package.

Thoughts?

(Feel free to start a new thread for this, if you think the idea might go somewhere.)
