Something interesting I realized about their choice of name - S7.

1. It's a combination of S3 and S4 obviously.

2. It's also linked to another OOP system called R6. Interesting how it's a step forward one way (6->7) and a step 'backwards' in another way (S->R).

To me it shows the philosophy of not creating something entirely new but improving the existing systems quite nicely!
