would be possible to write your documentation avoiding the silly usage of FOO
and BAR everywhere? This is a very very old and boring joke, and does nothing to

in your documentation, rather than "clever" programmer "jokes", learners such as
myself would have far more respect for the good work you are obviously doing
here. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
