The name seems to be of Klingon origin:

  Klingon "pe'vIl mu'qaDmey tIbach" ("Curse well!) is roughly
  comparable to "Good luck!".

  Litarally it means "Shoot curses forcefully!" - Curses are
  considered a weapon of a sort which must be propelled to their
  targets.

Sounds promising. I gave standard library's curses a try but was not
very happy with it.
