Prof Dr Fritz L. Bauer

An important member of WG2.1, the group that developed Algol-68. If you
do a search for Bauer Algol-68 you will get a lot of hits (the top ones
are all in German).

He formulated this principle in the 60's. I do not have the exact reference,
I will track it down. It was one of the guiding principles in the Algol-68
design, and whenever we violated it, we were sure to carefully understand
the trade-offs.
