I was trying to remain well-defined.  I'm sure its possible if you can modifiy
it *as* it executes, and certainly possible if you can modify it *after* it
executes, to define semantics that have *no* value at all.  For example, the
"going back in time and preventing your grandparents from having sex"
situation.
