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.
