Currently generator paths are explicitly excluded from systemctl
operations. I think systemd should distinguish between runtime and
generators. One reason is, generated units are meant to be "enabled" by
definition - they are usually created to be included in transaction. 

So if something should be returned it should be "generated"; not sure
which qualifications make sense here.
