Zooko complains that "referent" can either mean "referrer" or "referree", and proposes to rename it to get_referrers.

Sounds good to me, but

  1. EINMNL (English is not my native language), and
  2. We are past 2.2beta.

Still, I'm willing to change the code and documentation, if others think it is a good idea to change it now. It probably isn't a good idea to change it later, since that would produce incompatibilities.
