Agreed.  (in general - I don't mean to pick on 'oven' in particular).
As much as I actually like the homour and the extra level of thinking
that it forces onto my brain, it does make things confusing for the
non-english.

I don't mind fusion so much though - it does have some meaning (as the
fusion of compile time and runtime).  And it so generic that it is
hard to name well.
