Print itself
Print itself is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Create a program, which prints its source code to the stdout!
DO NOT USE the source file of the program! It is the running program itself which has to contain it's source code somehow, without reading the source file!
