I typed up my own thoughts on the different definitions of the word "irony" and published them here.
According to wikiped...er, my own research, irony can't simply mean "something bad happens to a good person." Tragic irony, in particular, is a subset of dramatic irony, which requires that the audience knows something that some character doesn't know. That certainly doesn't apply to any of the situations in the Alanis song.
'unix' is a preprocessor constant:
#define unix 1
(It should be defined like that on unix/linux systems)
Ah, that's exactly what I was missing. Thanks!
