Another pun in the spirit of c++ is tcl's OO framework
called 'incr tcl'.

i++ in tcl is written as incr i
No-one but tcl:ers know this. It is a bad name.
How many, execpt ada:ers, know the meaning of T'Succ?

Besides, a tick is a nasty spider related animal, arachnid. Not an
insect. And it is the bearer of at lest two seroius deceases (TBE and
Borrelios). Really want that as a mascot? I don't.


And I can really imagine problems on wiki-pages and other printed
materail when you say
<source lang='Ada'Succ'>

The parsers/string handlers will not like it.
