If it matters, the "official" definition of tacit:seems to be: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/intro.htm "...functional or tacit programming that requires no explicit mention of the arguments of a function (program) being defined, and the use of assignment to assign names to functions..." The dictionary also mentions that 13 : may be used to create tacit verbs. (Essays can provide very good and useful material but usually the dictionary will trump them.)
