We have now learned from a subsequent posting that the language used
in the example Muttley gave "was a language used in a specialist
task, it wasn't made public."  So we aren't able to draw any
conclusions about what he meant (and apparently that has been his
intention all along - any attempt to elicit more information has
resulted in insults and nothing more).
