Generally WebKit does not use the verb "get" to name functions that
simply return something. Instead for those we simply use a noun.
If there is some real action involved, then we would want to use a
verb, but not "get". For example, if the function always creates
something we can use the word create.
Sadly we have not yet found a good verb for the common "get or create"
idiom.
