Yes, it is lense (not lens). "Lense" is word I coined that means something kind of related to the notion of 'tense' in grammar.
(I tried 'linse' but settled on 'lense'). If the lense of a verb is '1', then the verb maintains its object. If the lense of a verb is '0', then the verb consumes its object. The typical word whose lense is 0 is 'free' (as in freeing an object). And the typical word whose lense is 1 is 'copy'. In ATS3 library, the name of a function should, by convention, indicate explicitly the lense of the verb contained in the name.
