No, if implemented by a group, they're the group's way of saying, "we code
like this and so should you, if you want to be in this group". There's a
huge difference between the two.

Why should I want to read through code instead of reading documented method
signatures, unless I specifically want to rewrite that code? Tools like
Javadoc let you quickly identify the things you need to know - inputs and
outputs - and ignore the rest. How the code does what it does is irrelevant
if the code is modular as it should be.
