Rewriting", Ida et al, Proc of Prog Future Generation

3. (lower case) The Lisp atom used to represent "true",

among other things. "false" is represented using the same

atom as an empty list, nil. This overloading of the basic

constants of the language helps to make Lisp write-onlycode.

4. In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for

"transaction".

5. (Purdue) An alternative spelling of "tee".
