^^^^^^
This seems awfully difficult for a lexical analyzer to handle, and
perhaps illustrates my point again. (Isn't ? itself a trigraph
character, at least when ambiguity requires it?)
As a sporting gesture, would you be willing to repost the contest
rules, this time using trigraphs only in place of the offending
symbols? If that doesn't make my point, nothing will.
