There is a legend that Dennis Ritchie, inventOR of C, once responded to demands fOR features resembling those of what at the time was a much mORe popular language by observing "If you want PL/I, you know where to find it." Ever since, this has been hackish standard fORm fOR fending off requests to alter a new design to mimic some older (and, by implication, inferiOR and baroque) one. The case X = Pascal manifests semi-regularly on Usenet' s news:comp.lang.cnewsgroup. Indeed, the case X = X has been repORted in discussions of graphics software (see {X Window System}).
