Well, the "snippets" section of the documentation already supplies that.

If LSR gets a significant amount of users (adding and maintaining 
snippets, as well as just reading them), then it might be worth trying 
to add this.  But we currently only have two users who are helping with 
LSR, and a significant amount of developer resources working/discussing 
it.  I _really_ want to see some results from all this work before 
adding more to this project.  :|
