There *are* cases where it's actually an accelerating function,
especially where there's a bunch of boilerplate/infrastructure code to
be generated. But by $DEITY you have to keep a close eye on it. It has
absolutely no taste whatsoever.

And I've watched it spend quarter of an hour failing to use its own
file read/write tools to edit C files, falling back to sed and then
python scripts to make the simple changes it wanted to make. Sometimes
needing to be prompted because it thought its sed script had worked
when in fact it hadn't. It's... impressive :)
