Good luck with unambiguous, short, 4-5 character name findable

After 50+ years of Unix, more short acronyms for many, many more years with Lisp, and many more with AutoCad, and, esp., recent developments with OpenAI all using same name - "clip" is late to the party. 

Recommend Some PY or LEO prefix or suffix for findability and disambiguation. Not a dictionary word.

cutpy 
clippy (prob. taken)
etc. Google and GitHub is your friend 

Love RPN - thanks!

One of the all-time poor name choices - for Internet searches - has to be the graphics programming language called "Processing".

As for "clip", if you were referring to the RPN calculator key I called "TOCLIP", it probably doesn't need to be searched for on the internet :)
