better examples for #r

[daveyostcom]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

This is the example given

#r "nuget: Newtonsoft.Json"
open Newtonsoft.Json

let data = {| Name = "Don Syme"; Occupation = "F# Creator" |}
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data)

That’s too simplistic. If you add this example, you can tell more of the story:

#r "nuget: Mono.Posix.NETStandard"
open Mono.Unix.Native

and even more:

#r "nuget: NaturalStringExtensions"

  let comparator a b = System.NaturalStringComparer().Compare(a, b)

These examples would help to avoid mystification in cases where the names in the #r and the usage differ.
