This is wholly irrelevant, but I love the spelling of O'Caml like an Irish last name. I'd definitely frequent a pub called O'Caml's.

OCaml was originally a contraction of Objective Caml, and spelled O'Caml. At some point this changed and the spelling without the apostrophe was adopted. What comes out of my fingers hasn't caught up, though.
