2 infix.
In translation software written by hackers, infix
2 often represents the syllable to with the connotation
`translate to': as in dvi2ps (DVI to PostScript), int2string
(integer to string), and texi2roff (Texinfo to [nt]roff).
Several versions of a joke have floated around the internet in
which some idiot programmer fixes the Y2K bug by changing all the
Y's in something to K's, as in Januark, Februark, etc.
