Ah, ok. Well, that's completely different from current compilers highlighting ambiguous/undefined/error-containing code with a warning/error; and totally different from programmers today asking clarifying questions on a spec from a customer (directly or indirectly via a PM). ;)

The future is so bright. At *last* we have our magic bullet for software engineering!

Eat *that* Brooks!

It's very different in that you're operating at a much higher level of abstraction. By several orders of magnitude compared to previous attempts at report generators and wizards.

It's also being done by non-programmers, like the defense editor at The Economist wrote that he had made a program to help him keep track of aircraft movements in the middle east.
