Remember the name
Package name Paspailleur is pronounced as [pas.pa.jœʁ] that can be simplified to [paspajor] or [paspayor]. The name comes from the french word “Orpailleur” meaning “gold miner”. Orpailleur was also the name of the team where the package’s development was initiated. So, in a sense, Paspailleur can be deciphered as “Pattern Structures miner”.
