A surprising piece of code found in some program. While usually not
wrong, it tends to vary from {crufty} to {bletcherous}, and has lain
undiscovered only because it was functionally correct, however
horrible it is. Used sarcastically, because what is found is anything
but treasure. Buried treasure almost always needs to be dug up and
removed. "I just found that the scheduler sorts its queue using
{bubble sort}! Buried treasure!"
