New class definitions are self-describing in the sense that they encode the same information as the DFNs they were generated from, and it would be nice for components to be able to emit the DFNs they were created from, though they can't do this yet. This could be called spec reproduction.
It would also be very nice for instances to be self-describing/reproducing, in the sense of, being able to emit code that instantiates them. This could be called instance reproduction.
There is a project that does the latter for pre-mf6 flopy modules, https://github.com/bdestombe/python-flopy-parser. A native capability like this could ideally move into flopy. The author welcomes this idea and provided suggestions bdestombe/python-flopy-parser#3
