I suspected this. Just that I didn't noticed 42 but in Haskell papers. Maybe this is just a bias due to my recent interests. I should check some C/C++/Lisp/Ocaml papers.

About the library search, Maybe it is possible to try a giant "grep" on all papers in ACM Portal, or CiteSeer?

I tried this briefly on the ACM. You need to be able to exclude citations, footnotes, volume numbers, etc., and their "Advanced Search" is not quite that advanced. :-) Chris
