I guess he meant `bikeshed' (I've never seen it spelled `byke'), which is a
reference to the tendency of people to argue more vociferously over minor
issues than major ones.

BTW, pale blue-green: I keep wanting to suggest that this function be called
`iota', after the APL function with similar functionality.  I think various
common-lisp/schemes versions of this function use this name (though I seem to
recall that the function signature is usually
  (iota COUNT &optional START INTERVAL)
