I understand that this is important, but rather than poll for name preferences on every API point, here is what I propose we do: 1. The person generating the PR chooses the name they think best. 2. They announce their proposed change, making sure to include things like names. 2a. (Optionally) They describe alternatives they considered and the reasons they didn't choose them. 3. Everyone else does the usual standards forum thing of nitpicking names, or in reviewing the change. It's not clear that this would save time overall, but maybe by moving the nitpicking stage later in the process we can avoid the costs for uncontroversial things and it allows the person proposing a change to get on with the substantial aspects of the change. Changing names when we collectively change our minds is a little tiresome, but not overly so.
