Funfact: PQ is short for toilet paper in French So libpq always cracks me up. But then again there's a theorem prover called Coq (which is indeed pronounced as you imagine, it means rooster) and it's been named by French researchers at INRIA!

As an American, I feel like I have to deliberately mis-pronounce 'coq' the theorem prover like 'coke' the soda.
