<fossy>personally don't really consider AI code the same "pregenerated files" because often it is not clearly distinguishable from human written code and tends to be readable
<fossy>just worse code
<fossy>but orthogonal to pregenerated files

<stikonas>fossy: yeah, but some pregenerated files are also kind of readable
<stikonas>well, you can never have a very strict line
<stikonas>because some files might have been generated once and then heavily rewritten by human
<stikonas>so that not much of the original generation is left
<stikonas>but I gues it's fine in that case
<stikonas>anyway, I should be able to bootstrap and old version of re2c. At the moment I'm trying 0.13.6
<stikonas>handwritten lexer does not have to be that powerful, just need to understand whatever is needed to regenerate original .re file (or perhaps its simplified version)
<stikonas>well, I guess not too dissimilar to bison bootstrap
