Actually this is (sort of)
becoming more common.
I suppose it's been around in interpreted languages for years. No doubt
you-know-who will claim they invented it though (and worse still, most
of the users will believe them)
This means that any program can
write source code to a string (or other structure) and compile and execute
it!!!!!!
Sounds like a dream come true for virus writers :-)
