With this trend one can expect that the future versions of all Plan9
components would be named after little known towns with funny
names. I say we start in PA. Intercourse, Climax and Blueballs come
to mind. How about one named after Tightwad, MO -- this could
be some sort of memory checker, or Bucksnort, TN -- perhaps
the new name fo olefs?
