And while we're at it, would people be interested in using a "language

the code and might make some tool integration (debugging, etc.) a bit
harder. Personally I think the benefits would be worth it.

Mixed feelings. While the boilerplate addressed by Lombok continues to
bother me, I'm a bit reluctant to use 3rd party magic here. I fear
subtle bugs will sneak in through the back door in the long run...
I'd rather go for a modern language instead of taping things together ;-)
