I have thought that before, but I _don't understand_ the *real value* 
against having "nice" code in externally delivered src.zip.
Some time ago it was always annoying to me when debugger ran in that 
code, or I was just looking, how it works. (endless scrolling and often 
I oversaw the tail behind numbers of blank lines (I don't have line 
numbers on in my editor)).
In contrast in generator output of SingleByte-X.java you don't care 
about line numbers, although it's in private sun package.
