Just finished _Software_ a few days ago, and started on Burroughs'
_The_Ticket_That_Exploded_.  Burroughs has a symbiote called
a 'Happy Cloak' in TTTE.  Then in _Software_, Sta-Hi finds a symbiote
that clamped down onto his neck and called itself a 'Happy Cloak'.

Anybody out there besides me think it's a tribute of sorts?
There many other of these similar-prop things out there that I've
missed?  I've just started reading Burroughs, am I to expect lots
of these synchronicities/tributes?
