Given that is happens when bless is called and that all other builtin methods are anmed after what is being called, not what it is being used for, then I would say that it should be called BLESS for consistancy reason. this may seem confusing because you are thinking of one particular use that you have in mind for this, but in a generic sense it is a method that is called when bless is called.
