Good reasons for doing something have almost zero relevance when talking about a program that must automatically work for whatever someone might try to do with it ... without blowing up in a spectacular mess.

Anything that must try to automatically (and successfully) manipulate any and all code that might be thrown at it is always going to come at the expense of the loss of some control over the conciseness, the efficiency and the conventions of the code it produces.
