The infinite set of source code permutations that can output the word
'red' as a sole output regardless of whatever other logic may occur
within the content of $code. I use 'can output' because the particular
evaluation may not always output 'red' since the above example may be an
isolated case that occurs once every trillion runs or so and we just
happened to hit it :B
