That's certainly the title of the introductory paper. In the
paper, though, it's just refered to as Plan 9 and the manuals
are identified as Plan 9, Volume 1 and Plan 9, Volume 2 on the
copyright pages.

I can't claim to have made the observation myself. I can't
remember where I read it, but the statement was made by somebody
at Bell Labs. I thought it was in the documents, but I don't
find it at the moment. Maybe it's on their web site.
