Well, the file at home *is* called lootjes-trekken.py, but somehow the
spellling got corrupted:)

OTOH, Dutch being a permissive language does allow for both variants!
"lotjes" being the generic form, "lootjes" the special case (from a
morphological point of view that is). But surely "lootjes trekken"
is the common way to refer to what we do at this time of the year.
