Yeah. The term came to me thinking of DEK. Somehow the process is the
inverse of literate programming: you write the code, and the docs
follow -> illiterate programming.

To be fair, the DCOP doc isn't /that/ bad, but having suffered Doxygen
for many a Java project "this function has that-and-that name and takes
this-and-that types of args" hey, the source knows that already! I'm
a bit wary of that. Thus my snark.
