Sounds interesting, but 64k of code probably will make it need a  
little more slimming down for the CoCo.

To make it sound even more immature, the name comes from Monty  
Python's Flying Circus.  You have to name a language something.   
Considering how widely used it is already, I seriousply doubt that  
anyone is going to rename it.
