OBS

biscuit magique : La désignation «biscuit magique» a été proposée par le passé comme équivalent français de la désignation «magic cookie». Néanmoins, comme l'équivalent français du terme «cookie» est aujourd'hui «témoin», et non «biscuit», la désignation «témoin de programme» est maintenant proposée par souci d'uniformité avec le reste des désignations de la même famille.
