Why does documenting suck so much --____________--
If anyone can come up with a way to automatically generate truly useful examples from a function without knowing anything about it except the DownValues/SubValues/call signatures or w/e I'll give them like 5000 rep (if you want more I'll give you more, honestly).
I want to take a pattern and get a set of matching types. The set of types does not need to be complete, but it needs to satisfy, say, 90% of the cases.
Here's is a (definitely not complete) set of examples:
arg_ -> "Arbitrary"
arg__ -> "Arbitrary sequence"
arg___ -> "Arbitrary blank sequence"

@taritgoswami In princiniple, you can try to scale the y-axis with ArcTan; that pushes infinity to a finite value. And then you may specify your own Ticks for the y-axis...
If anyone wants to take over from there I think it'd be cool to use this as an alternate on-demand data system to load :) One thing that comes to mind is the extension of existing EntityStores (so that you could pull, say, the first 50 WD entities) and then later pull the next 50 and append them to the existing store. I've written that machinery before and it's not hard, just annoying.
@bobthechemist that particular image was created from scratch by me on Thursday, and I have never seen anything like that except the image that I saw on 9gag, but that had a completely different look. But I'm not surprised that you, too, have made something like that since I know of your interest in the periodic table.
