The problem with example is that someone have to maintain them.
For DerelictBgfx we removed all translated examples.
So the Derelict policy is to remove example to avoid them 
becoming out of date.

For the record Aldacron maintains approx. 22 Derelict bindings 
and I maintain 7 of them, in our free time. Keeping up with all 
library change is impossible if everyone excpect everything to be 
up-to-date and with examples.

Because it's similar to using the Driver/Runtime API in C++, you 
have to read CUDA documentation.

Maybe we can delete them so that it's not too embarrassing? 
Serious proposal.

In my opinion, the couple header files provide all you need to 
use CUDA, if you know what you are doing. If you don't, don't do 
GPGPU.
