We doubled our number of core-method-named people at RubyConf this

Yeah, but #freeze belongs to the top class, Object.
Only way to beat that is to be in Kernel. Know anyone
named 'puts' or 'fail'?

Hopefully we will never have a method called zygmuntowicz

That's it. I'm legally changing my name to <=>.

There are enough hits on "Mr Rand" and "Mr Trap" on google
And "Mr Loop" is there, too.
Good fodder for action/adventure hero names:
Trap Randloop
Rand Traploop
Loop Randtrap
and so on.

The operator formerly known as Joel....
At least my symbol is pronounceable.

If you spell that ".." or "...", people might get the pronunciation confused
with "range operator" or "to" for short.
