    for data_element in data_elements {
        let upper_case_keyword = data_element
            .keyword

            .replace("__", "_")
            .to_uppercase();

        buf_writer.write_all(
            format!(
                "const {}: Tag = Tag(0x{}, 0x{});\n",
                upper_case_keyword,
