I'd like to know how the meme got started, of calling that technique
"the Guttman-Rosler Transform".  I notice Greg B. called it that on
PerlfaqPrime, too.

As has been mentioned many times in the past, there is no transform
there.  In fact the technique is so basic -- much more so than the
ST -- that it does not need a proper name.  However, if one insists
on attaching someone's name(s) to it, it should at least include
Michal Rutka.
