True, but I have found them useful in the past in other C-like languages.  

This tool automatically creates the initial header file and propagates changes made
to the functions to keep things up-to-date, all I need to do is add it to the
Makefile.  Yes, WinAVR lets me know if I forget one or forget to update one but,
this way it's automatic.
