So, after copying these use statements elsewhere to format them, I was
rereading your message and I see that what you actually write is that
maybe we should be using the vertical style for imports in examples.

The examples would be nothing but a wall of use statements. Do we
really want that? I know it is the style we picked for the kernel in
general, but I don't think it should necessarily apply to the examples.
