The above is mine. I just took one of my favorite eight-line test programs (one that basically prints out all its command-line arguments), and made some replacements and embellishments on that. It is amazing what can be done with the preprocessor and typedef whilst rendering the results still palatable to a compiler. :-)

I think I'd prefer to license it under the GPL, so that I get to see whatever other extensions others might have made to it, come next September 19. As I spent some 30 minutes on it, chan
