  Ah, I would have expected this to just be an evil `public function getName( 
string $languageCode, bool $forTerms = false ): string`. (Which could be 
slightly less evil if we were already on PHP 8)
  
  Looking at Change name of mul language when used for terms (I7dbd94be) 
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/977258>, I 
wonder if it would not be better to have two new public methods on 
`LanguageNameLookup` like `getNameForTerms( string $languageCode )` and 
`getNameNotForTerms( string $languageCode )`. `getNameNotForTerms()` would then 
just directly call the now private `getName()` method and nothing else. 
`getNameForTerms()` would check if `$languageCode === 'mul'` and based on that 
either return a special name or also directly return the result of `getName()`.
  
  What do you think?
