Think of meta-templating tools like cookie-cutter or DevAssistant (or
the project wizards in an IDE) - for those kinds of tools, "source
file formats" are actually output formats. Once you look at enough
different parts of the software development pipeline you find that
pretty much *every* input format is an output format for some other
tool :)

Nick.
