Apart from the standard software as used by the majority, there happens to
exist everywhere(IMHO!) software doing some work of editors, browsers, linkers,
maintenance tools, program development environments, little chunks of

for which the "normal" appearance of a variable is just accepted
with a minimum of effort as a token/name_nail/ etc.
