Only if I name it after an avian predator. :) I'll admit that I asked about
the Eagle because I wanted to compare it with the Modular Cutter, but the
box replacement module wasn't inspired by the Eagle; it just seemed to be a
logical proposal for situations where space efficiency or being able to
link up modules in a "permanent" groundside structure might be viewed as
desirable.
