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".
That's indeed funny!
Thanks for sharing that!_______________________________________________
