It can stand for ``Another Incoherent Forth Program''.  Let the
question of whether to deal with the ``if a tree falls in a forest and
there's noone around to hear'' questions to an AI group.  Anyway, as

research is simulated intelligence.

So if this Metifex stuff is just simulated intelligence ... that's
good enough for me.
