I have poked code in the past, though not in 'C'. I've done it in Fortran
via Forth running under Fortran. If I switch to another environment,
of course, the problems caused by poking code are nothing compared to
redoing the Forth inner interpreter.

And, of course, there's Henry Spencer's famous BitBlt example.
