Provided that seeking for a feature is relatively fast (hopefully with sublinear search complexity), a reference could be large and quick.

It would be about as creative as the joke I decided to scrap about gendering based on paren/bracket shape.

But "big boy" is more common than "big girl" or "big child" or so on, possibly due to alliteration.

I agree about "apt alliteration's artful aid", but I think it's more about gendering things masculine by default, even in natural-gender languages like English

Common Lisp is female becuase it take the seed of my idea and turns it into a living thing, but it's male becuase it fucks me over every day while forcing me to do menial labor for free, but it's non-gendered because it's just a programming language specification.

I would be grateful for anyone having a look at https://github.com/splittist/printfcl to see if it makes any sense. Thanks...

Shinmera: Basically. Or having to reproduce some output format specified with some version of printf format strings.

Fair enough. Though I would have exactly liked to have %p, since there's no portable way currently to get the object identifier without doing weird stuff with dissecting print-unreadable-object's output.
