Novel idea.
Yeah, I did seem to remember this coming up earlier...

Re-reading this thread, I even realize now that it may just have been
that discussion that drove me to disliking the idea of generated
source files in the first place. Yes, it was in fact /your/ idea,
Peter. :)
Later on, I encountered other scenarios where generated source files
were being used, and the only thing in particular that comes to mind
about them, is that they were driving the devs who had to work with
them crazy like hell... Changing a column in the master database with
a nightly script would leave them with altered method signatures for
some of the referenced classes the next morning they came in.
Cheers,
Andreas
