Is there a place for 4GLs anymore?

Bob D., your definitions of the programming language
generations are right in with what I was tought years
ago in college.  I agree with these definitions.  What
would define a 5GL...anyone know?  Is anything out
there close to a 5GL?  Will there ever be a 5GL?

1GL is machine language
2GL is symbolic machine language such as assembler
3GL is high level procedural such as COBOL, C, C++, Java
4GL a non-procedural (what not how) language that
provides a large reduction in physical code. Most are
dictionary based.
