`get` is usually in the wild as a getter of a property, i.e. taking no parameters. That’s not a problem — you can just skip “get” and there’s generally no confusion. Or just make it a property if possible. The cases I was describing were mostly factories/initializer-like (so I’d suggest “makeFoo” for new APIs), or finder-like (“findTrack”)
