chrome: n. [from automotive slang via wargaming] Showy features
added to attract users but contributing little or nothing to the
power of a system. "The 3D icons in Motif are just chrome, but they
certainly are _pretty_ chrome!" Distinguished from bells and
whistles by the fact that the latter are usually added to gratify
developers' own desires for featurefulness. Often used as a term of
contempt.
