For instance simple things like setters and getters for an aggregate 
class easily generate tens of lines of code (well, not only code lines, 
but also other kinds of editable lines). Like lutger said, all kinds of 
transformations also come in mind in this context. There could be even 
ORM mapping utilities which generate all the code for accessing the 
database structures.
