I like $kernel->invoke(), because by virtue of being a different name
than $kernel->call() is means something different. And you can look
up the meaning in perldoc POE::Kernel.
Otherwise, I'd suggest something like $kernel->local_call(). "local"
referring to the session.
But, $kernel->do() is evil, cuz "do" is a builtin and things get
confusing in editors programs and human brains. :)
