Well, it's hard to write 800 pages of arcane trivia without getting
silly once in a while.

By the way, one can find "unpolluted" and "heap management" in the RM
index.  Alligator comes from an early (pre-1983) Ada compiler written by
Intermetrics (in Simula 67), in which there was a node in the abstract
syntax tree whose type (class, actually!) was called Alligator_Exp.
Alligators might lurk in the RM, but only the AARM has squirrels (thanks
to Dave Emery, who, if I remember correctly, argued for fairness on this
point).
