"synopsis" is not Perl jargon, it's a simple english word, a fancy way to
say "summary," and stating that it's Greek for "together, with the eyes"
is yes, a nice nod to Perl's we're-all-linguists-on-this-bus motif, but no,
it is not needed -- the derivation of the word -- in a reference. Do we then
need to also mention that "abstract" is Latin for "dragging away?"
