I know, right‽ :) I thought about mentioning that in many shells print p"'\''"$0"'\''"; would have also worked (it's not POSIXy though), or alternatively using bash's C quoting strings ($'') even just print p"\'"$0"\'"; (might have required doubling other backslashes though) but there's already the other method using awk's character escapes.
