It sucks. What's the meaning? Texas Instruments? Some black rapper?
Sorry, it just feels like "let's get some random letters and make sure
at least one of them is either t or h and none of them are a or c".

I sense forthcoming PLD 2.5, 3.4, 4.3, 5.2, 6.1, so that everyone who
fears upgreading to PLD 7.0 can keep up to date.
