Fear not, we will reimplement 'snob' in our new software called 'stuck up'. In addition 'stuck up' will have added functionality --recursive so that 'stuck up' will traverse all users in lexical order. Upon exit of the program, those that use 'stuck up' will chide those still using 'snob' as not using the one true 'stuck up' for the purpose of mere spite regardless of any technical merits of 'snob' verses 'stuck up'.
