@saddestrobots tired: they called it creat because of a linker limitation

wired: they called it creat so the syscall definitions would line up in a source listing and instantly regretted it when the Berkeley kids started mocking them

inspired: they called it creat because it creats files

Argh!

And if we ignore G because of G-code, the next available letter is I (which looks the same as a lower case L), and then everything's taken up to N.

Holy smoke.

Thank you for warning me before I gave terrible advice!
