<p>Just curious if anyone knows the background of choosing the name 'Dialer' for that interface. Seems weirdly archaic to me for a modern language. Not a problem, just a lovable quirk of the language but I'm wondering if there was more to that, it was an inside joke or whatever?</p>

<p>Go seems to have a bit of flair for using archaic language in a handy, intuitive way -- e.g. rune for "unicode code point".</p></pre>
