Funny.

Wouldn't you then include the "main(){..." in the character count for
the program?  I would.  It seems like _more_ work and more info to
keep track of.  You'd probably have to cobble up a Makefile for it,
to keep from having to type it in after every revision.  That really
brings up the character count.
