=head1 BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-acme-metasyntactic@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org>.  I will be notified, and then you'll automatically
be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

If you think this modules lacks a particular set of metasyntactic
variables, please send me a list, as well as a generation algorithm
(either one of the built-ins (C<Acme::MetaSyntactic::List>,
C<Acme::MetaSyntactic::Locale>), or a new one of your invention).

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Individual contributors are listed in the individual theme files.
Look at the included F<CONTRIBUTORS> file for the list of all
contributors (43 in this version).

However, this module could not have been possible without:

Some sillyness

See L<http://use.perl.org/~BooK/journal/22301>,
the follow-up L<http://use.perl.org/~BooK/journal/22710>,
and the announce L<http://use.perl.org/~BooK/journal/22732>.

=item *

The Batman serial from the 60s (it was shown in France in the 80s).

my wife loves it, I name most of my machines after the bat fight sound
effects (C<zowie>, C<klonk>, C<zlonk>), and I even own a CD of the serial's
theme music and the DVD of the movie (featuring the batboat and the batcopter!).

=item *

Rafael Garcia-Suarez,

who apparently plans to use it. Especially now that it's usable in
one-liners.

=item *

Vahe Sarkissian,

who was the first to suggest an additional list (the sound effects from
Don Martin's comic-books) and provided a link to a comprehensive list.

=item *

Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni,

who actually uses it, to do what he thinks is the only logical thing
to do with C<Acme::MetaSyntactic>: an IRC bot! See L<Bot::MetaSyntactic>.

    <Maddingue> BooK: bon, l'API de AMS, tu l'as changé alors ?
    <BooK> je sais pas
    <Maddingue> comment on fait pour invoquer ton merder
    <BooK> ca se mélange dans ma tete
    <BooK> je peux te montrer des use case
    <Maddingue> je veux juste savoir si tu vas changer la commande meta
    <Maddingue> BooK: parce que j'ai fais la seule chose qui me semblait
                logique de faire avec ton module
    <BooK> un robot irc

=item *

Jérôme Fenal,

who wrote L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::RefactorCode>, which helps
C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> fulfill its role: rename your boring variables
with silly names.

=item *

Abigail,

who provided by himself more than 35 themes (I stopped counting after that).
I probably won't be able to include them all before version 1.00.
