        e.g. protons come in six flavors up, down, strange, charm,
        top, bottom and three colours red, blue, green, however,

        the lisp machine flavors system.  though the flavors
        design has been superseded notably by the common lisp
        clos facility, the term "flavor" is still used as a general
        synonym for "class" by some lisp hackers.
