Oh the creation of modules has gotten much better with languages like SystemVerilog and SystemC :) . What I did was a very rudimentary effort in perl (later ported it to python). Kind of like people look like "excel gods" at some company when they take some mundane manual tasks and do some excel scripting and take a 3 day job down to 15 minutes. I just happened to be the only EE with the soul of a coder while I was there. I was under very heavy NDA at the time, I'm sure others were doing the same at their companies. tldr; it wasn't anything special and is much more common these days. Basically it eliminated a ton of copy-pasta and manual editing.
