That is against the idea; the tex document never exists really.
I admit that formatting a document via environments that only exist on
the fly and that you never get to see, is cumbersome, and for many
users a no-go. Perhaps it may be made possible to write the generated
commands to a tex file instead of executing them, although that will
not be easy to achieve. It would help users to debug their
customization.
It would also help them to maintain the bad habit of always going the
route of the explicit tex document and editing that. Such a bad habit
would turn a process that is fast and efficient, into a process that
is cumbersome and awkward.
Regards, Simon
