Besides automatic translation from other 3rd generation langauges
that were mentioned, we also have the case of kinds automatically
generated code which could be easier to produce. (SQL-Ada maybe?)
Thus, code that is never to be looked at or maintained. (Well,

Just because it's there, you don't have to use it.
