Yes, it's unique to tomtom.

Why people persist in doing this when there are so many proper
programming languages that are free and easy to embed into other
programs I have no idea.  It's just stupid.  Why not just use scheme,
javascript or lua?  Proper progamming languages designed by someone
with a clue and well implemented.  Even crappy old tcl would be
better.
