meanings of the name "RCL".

# About RCL
RCL started as a hobby project, not so much because existing configuration
languages were inadequate, but because reinventing wheels is fun, its a nice
way to learn, and it is very rewarding to build something that does _exactly_
what you need in _exactly_ the way you prefer, even when an existing tool could
do a good-enough job of it. For more background, see the blog post,
[_A reasonable configuration language_][reasonable].
[reasonable]: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2024/a-reasonable-configuration-language
The name <abbr>RCL</abbr> might stand for:
* Ruuds Configuration Language
* Reasonable Configuration Language
* RCL Configuration Language (as a <abbr>GNU</abbr>-style recursive acronym)
* Reduce Cognitive Load
