The original /bin/true is probably the highest quality code ever written, but unfortunately I don’t think the license is OSI approved: http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/%3B-)/ATT_Copyright_true.html

The GNU coding style does not help with readability, in my opinion (he said, donning flame-proof underwear)
