If you're going to be inspired by hg, pick a cleverer name. :-)

If you want to add a thin attractive layer, silver-plate the thing and
call it "ag".  Since it contains the letter g as well, I'm sure that
someone can come up with a good backronym for it.


Latin element names:

Ag - Argentum
Au - Aureum
Cu - Cuprum
Fe - Ferrum
Hg - Hydrargyrum
K - Kalium
Na - Natrium
Pb - Plumbum
Sb - Stibium

```

Is "more Attractive Git" not good enough?
