Given both are work in progress, the following is just a "could be interesting" and didn't want to loose it as I saw it. That case might be easier as it's javascript / typescript but never the less might be worth exploring.

In the effect docs, the samples support showing the type signature and "hover docs" as the editor would, and include an "open in playground" link, that allows a user to quickly explore and play with it. Might be interesting to include such an approach in the docs as well.

This could indeed be useful, especially because static dispatch may make this less clear.

I am doubting if it is worth it to build this and keep it working forever. Before AI this would have been very nice to have, but looking at the future, I'm not sure that it will be used a lot.
