I like "get" more. ;-)


Best,
Sven

PS:
This might be a result of still leaning towards attribute access despite 
the discussion you referenced.
I still don't think complicating and reinventing terminology (which 
basically results in API names) buys us much.

And I am still with Ethan, a context stack is just a ChainMap. Renaming 
basic methods won't hide that fact. That's my only criticism of the PEP. 
The rest is fine and useful.
