How about:

A lot of compilers will accept this without a whimper. What you get
on output depends on whether or not the compiler "pools" literal
constants--and whether or not the literal is stored in a memory
segment with read-only permissions.

"0123456789abcdef"[i]
in the wild. I'm pretty sure it was in some of Ken's code.
I've done that a few times.
