What an incredibly elegant example. I love it. Although I personally 
will not adopt the jargon, but will still admonish others merely to not 
post the answer to somebody's question before posting the quoted 
question. Mostly 'cause I probably won't remember the term next time I 
need it.

And yes, this is a 97% content-free posting, but I just couldn't resist 
jumping up and down, pointing at the example, and going "ook! ook!"
