Well that would be an obvious rule that garbage code that does not 
contribute to the end result (ie can be taken out without affecting the 
end result) would not be allowed. Enforcing the rule is another beast 
though, but I would leave that to the competition.

Though the idea of a code generator is solid, but instead of generating 
garbage, produces a virtual machine that implements a generator that 
produces a virtual machine, etc. etc.
