Bypassing source restrictions by storing data in the file name

In some languages, like Pxem, programs are usually stored in the file name and the file's contents are irrelevant. On Somewhere Else, a Pxem answer has been disqualified before because the file content did not adhere to restrictions even if the file name did.

I propose that the area where the source code is stored should adhere to restrictions. There might be some cases in which this won't work but I'll let the voters decide what's fair for this loophole and what isn't.

I think it is better to say "the area where the source code is stored should adhere to the question requirements"
