I agree with everyone who has taken this side of the debate.  I
personally would not be too happy having a shell with those names
because in high school, they are considered inappropriate.  Also, what
if this gets to TI and they like it so much they want it as their next
OS interface.  Do you think they would be proud to say it was designed
by the author of that shell?  I don't.  As Trey said above, the name IS
just as important as what's inside.  After all, without names, how could
we identify things?  And, every name has some kind of meaning.  Rascall
comes from "RAndy and SCabby's ALL purpose shell".  ASE stands for
AuroraShell Enhanced.  ZShell is a shell for the Z80.  Even your name
has some kind of meaning.
