add variable capture example

This is a basically what is currently in
oxinabox/MagneticReadHead.jl#14

I think it is best to share it now as it is before it gets more complex

Awesome, thanks!

Can we get rid of the passes directory? I'd rather just keep a flatter directory structure for now; the top-level directories for this repo can just be the examples themselves, and if it gets too big, we can sort it out later.

Hmmm. What's the best way to set up CI testing here? We could just have a test script that loops through each project folder in the repo, activates/builds the project (whatever the Pkg3 lingo is for this), and runs a runtests.jl file in each project. Maybe in that case it does make sense to actually make this repo a bona fide Julia package (containing many subprojects).

What do you think of the order of functions in this example.
It follows my habit of putting things in order such that they are defined before the line where they are called, when possible.

But this means it goes from lowest level helper down to highest level function that does the thing.
Which might make for harder to read tuitorial.

Done

Sounds sensible.
@MikeInnes Flux model zoo should do this too. but seems not to?

I don't think so.
I've recently seen what happens when examples become registered as packages and it is not nice when people start depending on them.

It doesn't need to be registered, I just mean make it a package so we can use the default Julia package test config without too much thinking

I think going in your current order is sensible 🙂regardless, it's not a super long file so the scrolling burden isn't that bad

You mean we should have a .travis.yml file.
That vaguely looks like a normal julia one.

Anything blocking?
