There is certainly no insistence on English. The restrictions I would
like to impose are:

* It must use only Ascii. ("_loks" passes)

* It must not have a confusing conflict or overlap with an English
reading of the text.

I'm worried that "_loks" may suggest to an English speaker that it has
something to do with locks. Sorry.
