        Thought it was Obi-Wan... Besides, one first encounters him (in 
presentation order, not internal timeline) as "Ben" Kenobi; "Obi-Wan" 
always sounded like a title to me, I still refer to him as "Ben Kenobi" 
(and, at the risk of starting a war, it was still LISP in the early 80s 
when I played around with it; just as it was FORTRAN for all versions 
prior to the Fortran 90 standardization, wherein it was decreed that it 
was a "name" for F90+ and in general, but still FORTRAN for specific 
pre-90 versions -- has some standard made similar decree for LISP?).
