Except for the little fact that you're using "relax" to refer to something that's supposed to impose 
constraints, and we usually speak of "relaxing" constraints to mean the exact opposite.  Still, it's 
better than the MS-Windows debugger from the early 90s called Rebug, which always for me conjured up 
visions of a tool for putting bugs back into code after they'd been fixed.
