I think that the `&' character is just a representation of a fancy
drawing of `et'. Actually, I think it's more like `Et'. I'm not at
all sure that this is easy to see for Yuji, though...
For those who don'w know romance languages, `&c' is short for `etc'
which is short for `et cetera' which is Latin and means `and others'.
