There are good reasons for it.  I'm not talking about one PKGBUILD
here, but rather about 200, all of which are automatically generated.
Some of the 200 packages do need minor changes though, and earlier
that was done by manually modifying the output.  I'm now making
some changes to the transformer so that it can pull those changes in
via patches instead.  Using this type of modifications to the sources
array makes it easy to use an almost completely generic PKGBUILD.

Hopefully that explains why I'm pushing this.

I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have
C++ in mind.
