Tcl marketing idea: s/interpreter/interceptor/g ?

This week I attended training in California on how to setup and maintain Cisco's new Application Control Engine load balancing produt.

Like many other Cisco products, the ACE allows you to script its configuration on the fly by writing custom probes in Tcl. The instructor's overview slide touted the ACE as having a "TCL 8.44 Interceptor" built-in.

Clearly what it really has is a Tcl 8.4 interpeter built in, but a "TCL Interceptor" (whatever that would be otherwise) sure sounds cool! Next time one of the perennial Tcl Dying/Marketing threads comes up on comp.lang.tcl I'm going to suggest this as an example of snazzy branding.
