[FWP] Does this qualify as self-replication?

[Chaim Frenkel <chaimf@pobox.com>]

Does this qualify as self-replicating code?

seek(DATA,0,0);print <DATA>;__DATA__

And why doesn't __DATA__ have to be at the start of a line?

<chaim>

(On a seperate note. Obviously that works if it is contained in a
file. What I don't understand is why using shell-command-on-region
from emacs it works.  But _not_ when piping the command with an
echo. If its the fact that one can not seek on a pipe, what is emacs
doing that makes it work?)
