[webkit-dev] Naming scheme for fooIfExists/ensureFoo - Round 2

[Said Abou-Hallawa]

Sometimes I can’t use ensureXXX() because there is no guarantee the object will be created always. And I have to even use this pattern:

Object* objectIfExists() { return m_object.get(); }
Object* object(); // It try to create m_object but it still may return nullptr;
