Dougie,

I think that is wonderful, but I wonder about a small page explaining
what this means for the pure neophytes who are not familiar with what
the ` character does....perhaps even making an href/wikiref to the
explanation page for each instance of `whoami`.  I could see someone
putting their actual username betwixt the ` characters.
