You are right. "use" has the same issues.

I couldn't find any but what I did find, is WebCore's Settings class defined 
in WebCore/page/Settings.h, acceleratedCompositingEnabled() and
setAcceleratedCompositingEnabled() are both defined to mean whether the
accelerated compositing feature is allowed or not.  I think it would be
confusing if we were to use the exact same name with a different meaning. 

A couple of other possible options:
* isAcceleratedCompositingActive()
* isDoingAcceleratedCompositing()
