>It will be a long time (if ever) until a ML model will be able to handle these situations (and I hazard a guess that most of the worlds active code is something akin to this).

ChatGPT can do that right now. Just provide it example data in the input and it can extrapolate the format and interact with this abstraction (i.e. describe the format, write code to it, etc). LLMs don't just remix data it has seen before, they perform in-context learning. This means abstracting out patterns in the input and then leveraging it in generating output.
