Magritte itself does not come with code that generates Smalltalk
methods, although that could quite trivially be added. I suspect the
Scaffolding project of Gerhard has some code that does that, but I am
not sure.

I've never used MADescriptionEditor as a development tool, but as a
tool to let end-users customize their application. Thus the
descriptions never ended up in code but inside a database. That's
however not set into stone, I definitely think it would be a good idea
to have some automatic description to code transformation.
