Afz is invented by User:A.
Furthermore, I recommend that the official #esoteric character set of 12 different characters for transmitting messages redundantly through a 7-bit serial line shall be: +,07HOSTafz}
. afz stands for Another Foolish ...what?
Commands
An afz program executes backwards. Items in a lookup table do not have to be even.
A string-pushing command starts when a character is alphabetic, and ends when the character is not the same case as that character or is non-alphabetic.
The stack is right-ended; that is, you push items from the right to the left, and you pop items from left to right.
Input will prepopulate the stack.
