Beattys for Letterman: “Warren, Ned … Ned, Warren.”
The original name of actor Warren Beatty was Beaty , as in the name
of my own* Warren, PA, junior high school.

Scope Resolution
Wikipedia on a programming term —
The scope resolution operator helps to identify
and specify the context to which an identifier refers,
particularly by specifying a namespace. The specific
uses vary across different programming languages

are even more fundamental than the above polyhedra.
