Well, I anticipate it might be useful when two people start arguing about what color they think a certain car is or something. Or roughly describing some fancy color name a person has never heard of.

I expect people will put some thought into it whenever they use this. Might be useful converted to a MEX operator or something, too. Who knows? People will want to do something like it sooner or later, so I figure it can't hurt to define it now. :) (Particularly since there apparently isn't much disagreement! I'm shocked, really.) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
