Will a 'strings' command against the compiler return "Kudzu" || "kudzu" ,
the way it does in the other brand of software?

In case anybody is wondering why I'm picking on /usr/bin/yes, here's the
(minus useless header info) BSD source code to /usr/bin/yes. I'm not
sure what the GNU version looks like but I'd be shocked if it was much
bigger.
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
if (argc > 1)
for(;;)
puts(argv[1]);
else for (;;)
puts("y");
}
