Spot on. Having the code be a bunch of versions in a DB would be
fantastic as far as development/searching would be; it would be even
better if the code itself were, for lack of a better phrase, a set of
stored-tokens (instead of plain text) as this would allow different
programmers to apply personalized formatting to the source without
causing (what would be in text-files) a change resulting in another
version.
