This started to remind myself about the story of the contest where the 
shortest program beeing able to output own source was the job to code.
The jury had a big trouble to justify why not give the prize to the one 
who posted an empty file ...

I am currently at 39 bytes following the requirements and the principle 
given above (my module passes the test). Anyone able to beat that?
