It is known that Max Planck (the great physicist) chose to
display the value of Planck constant on his grave stone.
Max Born followed the same example and chose the commutative
operator (for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize) for his
grave stone.
Folklore has it that the defendants in the IBM JCL paternity
suit are toying with the idea of using "**" and "&&" or "//"
on grave stones.
Unix gurus are too young to think about grave stones but
I am sure "\", "++". "?". "~", "^" are all spoken for.
I have it on good authority that MBA's have usurped "$".
