Yea, totally. Another example: mysql-native used to be one (!!) source 
file. It was maybe a bit on the large size for a single module, but it 
was still workable. In the last several years, that library has grown 
many times its old size. But now, I'd say that easily the majority of 
lines are either comments or tests. The *actual* implementation and API 
isn't really all that much more LOC than it used to be. The original 
one-module version, by contrast, was less documented and had...I don't 
think it even had a single test (IIRC, the 
now-old-and-probably-bitrotted "app.d" wasn't even there.)
