About the choice of name of "Consumer", I seriously hate it. It has a connotation that the ownership of the object is transferred, and object might be dissolved. In many of my use cases, "consumer" simply sounds grotesque and totally misleading. I wish the choice was Procedure instead. (I'm just venting, not asking for change.)

Yes, finding names was very hard. Suffice it to say that there was no name considered that someone didn't hate.
