As I was (re)reading Bentley's "More Programming Pearls", I saw the
following in Sect. 2.6, Further Reading: "Aho, Kernighan, and Weinberger
designed and built the original Awk language in 1977. (Whatever you do,
don't permute the initials of their last names!)"
The exclamation mark seems to indicate a background story. Anyone know it?
