'Course, if ';' doesn't count as a statement, it makes it much more
difficult, since most commands end with a ';', and therefore have to start with
one as well if they're to be read in backwards-- making it two statements... I
suppose you could do:
#define madamimadam enifed#
But even neater would be to constrain the problem such that the statement
couldn't be a palandrome...
