Built For Life Number


We allocate numbers. The're called BuiltForLife numbers in honor of the workshop where they were invented. The are also known as BFL numbers recognizing the exact form they take as hyperlinks in program source code and related documents and resources.

A BFL number matches the RegularExpression: 

   BFL[1-9][0-9]*
This says: a BFL number consists of the three capital letters, B, F, L, followed by an arbitrarily large integer without leading zeros. It also implys that the number will not be followed by a digit, but may be preceeded by any character. Typically BFL numbers are enclosed by the comment marks prescribed by the language in use.
