We're going in circles...

As pointed out before, source code examples are technical documentation. The
guidelines are explicit on where to put "API Documentation":

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation

Nothing wrong with putting them into the -devel package as %doc examples. It's
the right place for them. Except that they still lack <cstdio> and fail to
compile. ;)

No, that doesn't apply to documentation. More often than not, in documentation
we explicitly get rid of superfluous dependencies. For example: Perl scripts
included as %doc. Typically, these are explicitly made non-executable, so
rpmbuild's dependency generator does not add any Perl Module dependencies
automatically.
