Fortune Quote #946

FEATURE, n. A surprising property of a program. Occasionally documented.
To call a property a feature sometimes means the author did not consider
that case, and the program makes an unexpected, though not necessarily
wrong response. See BUG. "That's not a bug, it's a feature!" A bug can
be changed to a feature by documenting it.
