In 2023 I had made a presentation about Gentoo in Racket for the Racket
Fest. I think some attendees looked at me in a weird way when I said
"[...] implementing support for parsing PMS in Racket [...]". Only some
more time after I discovered why that they might have thought.
> I'd like to propose renaming our "PMS" document into "EAPI".
Yup, better than "PMS".
Sadly PMS suffers form the exact same issue as GIMP and I do not think
that renaming to similar - eg. **G**PMS or PMS**F** will help :( (F -
for "format" used in Racket library implementation of the parser).
