Yay!  I always wanted to do that.  Actually, it's funny that I was able to do
it now... during TPR(0,4), I wanted to do exactly this (create hash keys with
undef values using a hash slice), but I wasn't able to come up with this little
reference trick.

Now if only I could get rid of the space in that 20 solution.  I've come up
with a couple other 20s:

20 print\@h{<>}&&sort%h
20 print!\@h{<>},sort%h  (not sure why this works, so maybe it doesn't:)
