I think we ran out of `$NameFast` and `Fast$Name`, so people are just using plain verbs as names now, ideally as similar to something existing as possible, so you can attempt to steal their SEO and similar nifty "growth hacking" stuff.

Maybe. Nothing else in Haskell named similarly, so it's not confusing.

also, accelerate was first published to Hackage in 2009 though so it isn't an especially new thing.
