Yeah. The term came to me thinking of DEK. Somehow the process is the inverse of literate programming: you write the code, and the docs follow -> illiterate programming. To be fair, the DCOP doc isn't /that/ bad, but having suffered Doxygen for many a Java project "this function has that-and-that name and takes this-and-that types of args" hey, the source knows that already! I'm a bit wary of that. Thus my snark. Cheers - t
