"Cattle labeling meat labeling supervision task transfer act" is just as bad as Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, English just gets to use spaces where German doesn't. The underlying construction is the same. (I definitively got that translation wrong)

I suppose it is how this kind of tool generally works. I think it's just some subset of the feeling I get when someone writes(implements?) $LANGUAGE in $LANGUAGE(e.g. brainf*ck in brainf*ck)

It's amazing to me that a python program can be written to make sure another python program is pythoning properly.

I'm sorry! I'm quite new here, so I guess I don't have the rules internalized. Thank you for the reminder.

Those are very good points. I suppose it depends on one's view of IP. I think your comment has actually changed my mind—at least a little bit. Thank you.
