That's an interesting observation.  It is true that many of the is*Enabled
methods query user controlled settings.

I was just thinking in terms of whether or not accelerated compositing is
enabled for the page.  In which case, asking the question "is accelerated
compositing enabled?" seems natural to me.  I don't see "enable" as something
necessarily connected to the user.  It seems like "use" could equally imply per
request of the user.

Are there any examples in WebKit API or WebCore that match the semantic
distinction you are going for?  It'd be nice to copy some convention.
