I used to like to tweak computer languages into something more
tasteful for me. I guess that would be concomplanging. In many
cases it was just a matter of relexing the reserved words, but I
did sometimes go as far as finding the word table in memory and
altering it so the relex was actually functional. Not unlike all
those tweaks for Apple DOS that allowed the renaming of DOS
commands to something else.
