=begin comments on it
hopefully every single line in here should have something odd about it.
let's take the first two (non-shebang/comment) lines alone:
- we're using `BEGIN`/`END`
- `$====` is used and is valid syntax
- octal literals
- the input is the program name
- setting `$_` in a `BEGIN`
- `%w` literals with non-standard delims: `*%w*...*`
- using `Kernel#sub`
- using `%<space><space>` as an empty string
- regex in conditions (`/\W|\d/`)
