You know... Because if you get them wet they multiply, per the documentaries

…I read the whole article at OP’s link, many comments off this thread…I even clicked into the college course material in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44468452 …and not once did it occur to me why it was called “wet mode”…not once…

…until your comment. Here! Take my “lived through the 80’s and 90’s” card.

Hm. I'll improve the documentation to make it slightly more obvious. When I add after_midnight with malicious compliance mode and bright_light() to freeze implementations then it should be more obvious.

Nah, dude. It’s exactly the right amount of subtle that I found it a delight to discover. Making the joke too obvious undercuts it!
