I submit that this kind of work will make generated code a lot easier.
There is this perverse joy I take in writing polyglot code, but I
wouldn't want to consider, say, some kind of UML model-driven python
code generator--the significant whitespace that's so dandy on the
human eye would be un-fun for non-trivial code.
Props,
Chris
