VB Add-Ins for Procedure Comments

Would be nice to have an add-in that updated a procedure comment when you changed the source code for that procedure.  For example, here is a simplified view of my procedure comments that contains a tested date field:

'----------------------------------------------------------
' optRotate_Validate
' TESTED: 2004-02-03  Grok
'----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub optRotate_Validate(Index As Integer, Cancel As Boolean)
   If mProfile Is Nothing Then Exit Sub        'no profile selected
   mProfile.RotatePage1 = Index
End Sub


Now if I were to edit the code in that procedure, other than the comments, the Add-In could invalidate the tested date and write "NOT TESTED" in its place.

Has anyone written Add-Ins?

It would seem that this could be adapted to produce error handling code, potentially to dump error information on a by-subroutine basis to a textfile of some sort as well as maintain comments as you said. Either way, it's an interesting idea that would prove greatly useful -- what kind of power are we given through Add-Ins?
