Yup.
I know a programmer who once discovered that the "self-documenting"
programming language he was using allowed him to declare his variable
names with spaces. Not only could the variable names include spaces,
he discovered that they could consist ONLY of spaces. So he wrote a
program where the fist variable name was one space, another was two
spaces, and so on. His program used somewhere between 12 and 20
variables, each (uniquely) defined as some number of spaces.
The resulting program worked just fine - but looked a little odd when
printed out. All you could see on the paper were the operators,
reserved words and punctuation marks. This proved that the language
involved was not "self documenting".

Thanks.
(anyway, I'm not a newbie programmer and like gotos) like that:
dim i As integer
goto c
b:
i-=i+1
goto e
d:
goto b
c:
i=i-4
goto a:
e:
i=i+4
return i
a:
i=i-5
goto d
