Just today I ran across the need to have a pair of functions, one of which would try to fetch something
and return [undef] if it couldn't, the other of which
would try to do the fetch, and would create the thing if it wasn't there. After some playing around in chatter I settled on a suggestion from [Petruchio] to use the naming style <code>get_foo()</code> and <code>summon_foo()</code>. Anyways the names work, are fairly short, and are reasonably descriptive. But they got me thinking..what other whimsical sounding names have people here wound up using?
