This is something which will be very, very useful. The biggest problem
I found when learning UCW was lack of clear examples with The Suggested
Way of Doing Things. The current examples are rather of the "show all
the fancy possible ways of doing things" type.

This is a fairly undeveloped area of UCW and one with great
potential. Parenscript could work really well together with UCW.
