And function names have to be useful to library users. walkLength is
an awful name for something that returns the character count.

If you ask a GUI developer to look for a function that creates a
rectangle path, you can be sure he'll start looking for Rectangle or
DrawRect or something similar, and not "ClosedShapePointN!4" or
something that generic.
