"The Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of template-based C++ classes developed by Microsoft, intended to simplify the programming of Component Object Model (COM) objects. The COM support in Microsoft Visual C++ allows developers to create a variety of COM objects, OLE Automation servers, and ActiveX controls.[1] [2] ATL includes an object wizard that sets up primary structure of the objects very quickly with a minimum of hand coding.
Controls for the Internet market could have been made with the Microsoft Foundation Classes, but the market requires controls to be small and compact for downloading over the network from Web servers. MFC applications tend to be large and require support DLLs. [3] ATL allows creating smaller controls without support DLLs, so ATL is in a sense a lightweight alternative to MFC for the COM control environment.
A common use of ATL in ASP (Active Server Pages) is to construct objects that can be called from a script. While limited in certain respects, VBScript is able to call C++ Windows code contained in a COM object.
On July 28, 2009, Microsoft released a patch to ATL to fix a bug that could allow ActiveX controls created using ATL to be vulnerable to a remote code execution security flaw. [4]"

Then I googled "Pho3". Weird. Mostly about genes. 3 vs 5. Then the one Arabidopopsis thaliana. Started singing: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious :
(pronounced /ˌsuːpərˌkælɪˌfrædʒəlˌɪstɪkˌɛkspiːˌælɪˈdoʊʃəs/) is an English word, with 34 letters, that was in the song with the same title in the 1964 Disney musical film Mary Poppins. The song was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. It also appears in the stage show version of Mary Poppins.
Since Mary Poppins was a period piece set in 1910, period sounding songs were wanted. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" sounds like contemporary music hall songs "Boiled Beef and Carrots" and "Any Old Iron".[1]
And:
"That's sounds like my mother boiling beef tongue all day. Suppose that means shut up...?
