Now that would be cool. In fact, it makes a lot of sense, and probably
wouldn't be that hard. I mean, with a little knowledge of compression, you
should be able to read in a program's string and compress it into another
string.
The only problem with this, is the temporary space required to compress it
(you would be making a second copy of the same program!).
