That is obviously a matter of opinion, but it is a fact that MIT,
Gambit, Chicken, Stalin, SCM, Chez, Vicare, Larceny, Ypsilon, Chibi would
have low quality of implementation by that standard.  Full details at

Police in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting
on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV
cop shows.  When it's explained to them that they are in a different country,
where those rights do not exist, they become outraged.  --Neal Stephenson
