Feature file with 'Examples':

Feature: Hello Car

  Scenario: Car can drive
    Given I have a car
    When I add <wheels>
    Then It <can_drive>

  Examples:

OP: You need to use 'Scenario Outline' in order to use 'Examples'.

I could have sworn I explained that when I closed this issue. Thanks for updating Matt

@mattwynne Thank you!

[ryan-ju]

@mattwynne excellent thanks!

[mattwynne]

@aslakhellesoy we really should try and improve the error message from Gherkin - I've seen this one soooo many times. Give me a pointer to where I would start the PR?

[aslakhellesoy]

I think we should just allow Examples under Scenario, and make Scenario Outline a synonym. The first place to change would be in Gherkin's .berp grammar file. It would also require changes in the ASTs and compiler.
