I have. Just for fun.

        42;     # the ultimate answer...
                # see "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy"

or a string. The joke is if you think of the subjective interpretation
of how such a string evaluates to true.

        "Well, at least it compiles alright."; 
            # if it doesn't then this won't be true...

        "Because I say so.";    # Those d*mn kids...


But nothing of all that is serious in any way.

If there's a warning if a require'd or use'd file is empty, that's more
than good enough for me.
