incantation

n. Any particularly arbitrary or obscure command that one must mutter at a
system to attain a desired result. Not used of passwords or other explicit
security features. Especially used of tricks that are so poorly documented
that they must be learned from a wizard. This compiler normally locates
initialized data in the data segment, but if you mutter the right
incantation they will be forced into text space.
