additional flavor</span>&#8221;. &#8220;<span class="quote">This convention yields additional flavor
by allowing one to print text either right-side-up or upside-down.</span>&#8221;
See <a href="../V/vanilla.html"><i class="glossterm">vanilla</i></a>. This usage was certainly reinforced by
the terminology of quantum chromodynamics, in which quarks (the
constituents of, e.g., protons) come in six flavors (up, down, strange,
charm, top, bottom) and three colors (red, blue, green) &#8212; however,
hackish use of <span class="firstterm">flavor</span> at MIT predated
QCD.</p></dd><dd><p> 3. The term for <span class="firstterm">class</span> (in the
object-oriented sense) in the LISP Machine Flavors system. Though the
Flavors design has been superseded (notably by the Common LISP CLOS
facility), the term <span class="firstterm">flavor</span> is still
used as a general synonym for <span class="firstterm">class</span>
by some LISP hackers.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="flatten.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../F.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="flavorful.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">flatten </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> flavorful</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
