Happy to take suggestions for more suitable names, maybe from Richard, our master of sophisticated English vocabulary.

Hmph. And I always consider Simon PJ to be a more erudite logophile than I. But, really, I think Joachim is just parading the fact that he unseated my near-miss at getting "bespoke" to be a keyword in Haskell (instead of the "stock" deriving strategy).

I don’t deny Simon’s logophilia, but whoever calls other logophiles “erudite” is definitely humble bragging. And clearly, while I am very fond of the style of logophilia that brought us gems like “zonking“, the “WizWoz machine” and many others, the criteria names in my original message were a genuine attempt attempt to imitate Richard’s very own style – as as such, be assured that it was most sincere flattery, and not at all parading of past quarrels :-) Ok, might also have been influenced by just finished reading a book by Alan Bradley… Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
