I concur with Antoine except that I'm a full -1 on commingling
generated code with hand edited code.   Sprinked everywhere
interferes with my ability to grok the code.  It interferes with 
code navigation.  And it creates a greater risk of accidentally
editing the generated code.

FWIW, I think everyone should place a lot of weight on
Serhiy's comments and suggestions.  His reasoning is
clear and compelling.  And the thoughts are all soundly
based on extensive experience with the clinic's effect on
the C source code.
