No; this is not surprising. -viewsource-, as its name implies, is for
viewing source code. Anything in an .mlib is object code. Regardless
of whether it is visible to you, no human can make sense of it.
Mata programmers aren't obliged to make their source code available
and there could be good reasons not to do that.
