Peter writes code in MS Word, so it qualifies as "designer's code" ;-)

Unless of course, its peter-code, which is *not* similar pseudo-code.

Yes. I did some 4 years of Russian some (many) years ago :-)
But enough to know how the original names are spelled in Russian.

And in fact they also sort close in Romanian (both are transliterated
the same, I guess Romanian did not change the transliteration rules)

In Russian it is pretty simple (note that both names begin with the same
letter '�' which is pronounced as 'ch'):
���������� (Tchaikovsky )
������� (Chebychev)

Note also, that "ChebyChev" should be written as "ChebyShev"

Hey! I took Russian too! I guess I'm not the only one who thought Russian
would be a neat language to learn! :-)
