Hey Y'all:

Someone posed the following teaser to me, and I admit that it has stumped
me completely.  It has even stumped my programmer buddies (which creates
doubt in my mind that there IS actually a solution to the puzzle).

The question was posed thusly:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ What line of code written either in C, C++, or Perl will compile written
forward as well as backwards?

Well the obvious answer is ";", but that's a bit too simple. I can't
think of anything else that doesn't involve several variable and/or
function definitions elsewhere.
