	As I recall, the proper form of that quotation is "You can call me by
name, or you may call me by value"...

	Playing on the common mistake in England and the US... "Wirth" is
correctly pronounced with a leading "V" (and likely with a silent "h") --
"virt" (the "name") ... But many tend to pronounce it as "worth" (the
"value")
