There is a reference, but it is in a book that I read months ago, probably while 
browsing through the local bookstore.  I just looked through _The Practice of 
Programming,_ by Kernighan & Pike, but apparently it wasn't in that book.

Trying to find it is a little like looking for a needle in a haystack.  It is probably 
in some other book on programming style.  I'll try to look it up when I have time and 
let you know when I find it again.
