Ah yes, good point. I think now we've had the discussion about
other use cases though that ultimately there might need to be
an "atomic" AddOrUpdate style function too, which I was
thinking could just be called 'update'. The necessity to keep
them all starting with get seemed less important.
How about something like "forceGet" to make clear you will get
it, even if it wasn't there before.
