Someone else try the harder case of using this clever `programming
methodology' to write a program that produces the text of the program
as output.  This program will print itself regardless of being
compiled with a C or Pascal compiler.  I just spent a few minutes
trying to do it and the solution isn't as simple as I first thought.
