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?
