   gotcha n.   A {misfeature} of a system, especially a programming
   language or environment, that tends to breed bugs or mistakes
   because it both enticingly easy to invoke and completely unexpected
   and/or unreasonable in its outcome.   For example, a classic gotcha
   in {C} is the fact that `if (a=b) {code;}' is syntactically valid
   and sometimes even correct.   It puts the value of `b' into `a' and
   then executes `code' if `a' is non-zero.   What the programmer
