I fail to see what this has to do with "expressive power", which it's supposed to test. In this test assembler is the most expressive language. Yes, silly.
Silly? Yes. Proposed by a C++ programmer? Yes. (Personally I can't think of a reason for *wanting* to do such a thing... but never mind. I am however mildly - I emphasize mildly - curiose to see if it can be done in Haskell.)
