GROK THIS!

[Doug Gwyn]

Bruce:	Hidden routines named "hack" in software packages, examples in
	documentation with names like "frodo" and other stuff like like
	drive me nuts.

Therapist:	Why do you feel such names drive you nuts?

The idea being that under normal circumstances one would not feel like
that about a moderate exhibition of a sense of fun.  DEC used to have
example names in their user documentation like FOO.BAR; some people
appreciated the sense of humor and others started a campaign to stamp
out all use of "foo".
