I wrote code whose purpose was to generate other code whose
 purpose was to generate code that in turn was a library. The code
 that I wrote using that library had a purpose of modifying code
 being compiled by a customer of this system.  And this approach
 was the quickest way I could find to solve the original problem. 
 And I was issued a patent on the end result. 

Incidentally the generated code was used without manual editing,
 but was properly indented and commented,  to make debugging
 possible.
