I find it interesting that the developers would choose the
name "B" since "B" was the predecessor of "C" when BMDPL
(if I remember the acronym correctly) was first introduced
into Canada and America.  :-)

(BMDPL => British Military Departmental Programming
Language.  Developed near the end of WWII.  Again, if my
memory serves me well.)
