what is the etymology/origin of the name "mcclim" ?

CLIM - Common Lisp Interface Manager - it is a specification of numerous protocols (partially) derived from Genera's Dynamic Windows. In 2000s Mike McDonald decided to write a free CLIM implementation and named it McDonald's Common Lisp Interface Manager, hence McCLIM.
