From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   codewalker n.   A program component that traverses other
   programs for a living.   Compilers have codewalkers in their front
   ends; so do cross-reference generators and some database front ends.
   Other utility programs that try to do too much with source code may
   turn into codewalkers.   As in "This new `vgrind' feature would
   require a codewalker to implement."
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Chadless keypunch
  
      A {card punch} which cut little U-shapes in
      {punched cards}, rather than punching out a circle or
      rectangle.   The U's made a hole when folded back.
  
      One of the {Jargon File}'s correspondents believed that the
      term "chad" derived from the {Chadless keypunch}.   Obviously,
      if the Chadless keypunch didn't make them, then the stuff that
      other keypunches made had to be "{chad}".   The assertion that
      the keypunch was named after its inventor is not supported by
      any record in US or UK patents or surname references.

      they are addressed to Christians in general, and not to any
      church or person in particular.
