[Dia2code-general] Another dia2code idea.

Hey All,

I just thought of another idea that would greatly improve the utility of
dia2code.

Dia2code can currently only be used to generate an initial version of
code easily, as regenerating would require a coder to cut and paste all
method bodys.

But what if dia2code added special comments at the begining and end of
the body of any methods that are not abstract. Then when dia2code is
generating code it could open the current version of the file, make a
backup of that file, and then merge the body of any methods from the
current version into the new version. This would allow it to regenerate
the code if a new method were created without all the cut and paste.

If parameteres changed obviously a human would have to copy and paste
from the backup of the old version, but that is still better than having
to copy and paste every method body.

Thoughts on this idea? Sorry if it has been discussed before.
