Foo is Not a Real Name
}
\description{
The name \code{foo} is not a real name: it is a place holder,
used to represent the name of any desired thing.
The functions defined here simply print an explanation of the
placeholder name \code{foo}.

foo()

\details{
The name \code{foo} is used by computer scientists as a
\emph{place holder}, to represent the name of any desired object or
function. It is not the name of an actual object or function;
it serves only as an example, to explain a concept.
However, many users misinterpret this convention, and actually
type the command \code{foo} or \code{foo()}. Then they email the
package author to inform them that \code{foo} is not defined.
To avoid this correspondence, we have now defined an object
called \code{foo}.
The function \code{foo()} prints a message explaining that \code{foo}
is not really the name of a variable.
The function can be executed simply by typing \code{foo}
without parentheses.
