And they're best used to make it look like you're actually programming
in a different language. You can make your C program look like BASIC,
or your Python program look like Pascal!

The best part is that nobody else will be able to figure out WTH is
going on, even if they are fluent in _both_ of the languages!

Amaze your friends!
