Nope, that’s not a typo, just a (possibly bad) joke. The
Blackman-harris window gets the “harris” portion from fred harris, who
always spells his name in lowercase letters. When adding that window
function in, I thought it’d be funny.

My vote: It’s hilarious. But, that’s after meeting Fred in person last
week & noting that, indeed, he -always- does all lowercase for his name,
even on the printed program (I’m sure there are exceptions, but there
were none at the conference). If I hadn’t met him or seen all of this,
I’d probably be scratching my head. - MLD

If it’s a joke, it’s definitely a bad one.
I came about this when starting the spectral estimation toolbox, and
it’s annoyed me ever since.
