To ulderico - writing self-modifying code is something you do not want to do for sufficiently
complex tasks. Debugging it is a royal pain, in the more complex cases it's usually impossible.
I suggest to keep away from using those techniques. A skilled programmer can always get the
functionality he wants without refraining to questionable stuff like this. It was bad when we did it
with assembly in the early 80's, and it's still evil today. Only today the tools allow for
other ways of solving problems.
