Ulf, those buf.append(LNSEP) lines serve the purpose of keeping the
code in the
generated source file have exactly the same line number as they appear
in the
original source file.
I have thought that before, but I _don't understand_ the *real value*
against having "nice" code in externally delivered src.zip.
Some time ago it was always annoying to me when debugger ran in that
code, or I was just looking, how it works. (endless scrolling and often
I oversaw the tail behind numbers of blank lines (I don't have line
numbers on in my editor)).
In contrast in generator output of SingleByte-X.java you don't care
about line numbers, although it's in private sun package.
