Examples
From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.
# A square canvas, so that equal ranges really are equal scales and the
# circle below comes out round. Without it the figure would render an
# ellipse while the paragraph above it explained how to avoid one.

How it works
A "radioactive" callout point: a highlighted marker at (x, y) labeled with its own coordinates, for calling out a specific sample without a separate text() call.
From the note above this builtin in the interpreter, where the reasoning was written down as it was built.
