Public service announcement: remember just how frustrating it is for 
Patrick to have put in all this work and get only comments like "I don't 
like the name."

If you think everything about it is fantastic, except maybe the name, 
then you can say so, and then maybe make a comment on the name -- or not.

If you have anything more substantial to say, please don't comment on 
bikeshed colors like naming before you've made your more substantial 
comments -- or before everyone else has as well. Because all that will 
happen is we'll have 100 replies-to-replies about the name, and poor 
Patrick will get no substantive comments.

(Personally, I think the name is fine.  It is reminiscent of LinQ's 
"SelectMany", which is their flatMap.)
