Just a correction; the SD article quoted in the previous post was
written by a Staff Reporter ("Una Persson"), not the exalted
Cecil Adams himself.

I did think it was funny that Python was mentioned, but Perl was
slighted -- backticks are much more common in Perl code than in
Python code, at least in my experience.
