Here were my reactions when I saw these:

ocap   ==> "Oh crap"
obcap  ==> "ObCap" (i.e., Obligatory Capability)
objcap ==> "object capability"

:-)

The second one is probably only applicable to folks who used to read
rec.puzzles or alt.hackers (with their ObPuzzle or ObHack), so I think
you can safely ignore my reactions.
