A surprising piece of code found in some program. Whileusually not wrong, it tends to vary from crufty tobletcherous, and has lain undiscovered only because it wasfunctionally correct, however horrible it is. Usedsarcastically, because what is found is anything *but*treasure. Buried treasure almost always needs to be dug upand removed. "I just found that the scheduler sorts its queueusing bubble sort! Buried treasure!"
