withr not working properly in pkgdown examples about withr HOT 3 CLOSED

AFACIT, this is expected behaviour. Here is a relevant section from R Packages book:

Ooops, no, this is only the expected behaviour when called from examples. It looks different when called from the global environment.

@lionel- I think the best we can do here is remove that example, since as far as I can there's no easy way to simulate what it'll look like when run manually in the global environment. (e.g. even if you eval specifically in the global environment then it code and results won't be interleaved correctly).
