The main problem is that, by itself, the name doesn't ring a bell for readers unfamiliar with Greek etymology, and seems to be a very creative name for some Haskell tool. Nevertheless, because this name is so original, I am forwarding it to the Haskell mailing list as a reference. I would alternatively suggest [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the beginning) for beginners, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the end) for teachers. -- Benjamin L.
