While I agree that a unix-like name is preferable, I just want to point out 
that 'fetch' is already used by a http/ftp transfer tool that's bundled with

Feel free to add those to the Wiki page.

I'd prefer short simple names, though. And I'm not a fan of CamelCase

the shift key in typing the name).
