A wonderful notion!  But how do we convince yacc and lex properly to
document generated code and tables?  While we're at it, let's have GM
build automobiles that *can't* be driven faster than 55 MPH.  :-)

Seriously, I fuzzily remember from working at IBM in the 60 that there
were standards for documentation of assembly code:  basically, every
code line should bear a comment.  Needless to say, such a standard
cannot guarantee comments which are useful.
