I suppose "Greebo" is right off the list? To go along with the Ogg
Vrobis, and other Terry Pratchett references? To quote a Terry
Pratchett story, the possible staes of a cat in a box are actually
"alive, dead, or bloody furious", which is what the developers are
going to be when they encounter extraneous punction in basic system
configuration files. They files are being parsed by /bin/sh in
./configure scripts and Makefiles, not a complex data format.
