I often want the stubs to be executable so I can test higher level code and do iterative builds. ("O.K. I got *this* function working right, now lets go build the next one..." Saves on having to build test harnesses.) I'd imagine it would be fairly straightforward to include an option that let the user select the desired behavior - raise exceptions or generate working code.
