get_something semantics is usually "compute a value without modificating 
environment, and returns it". Getters are just a subset of this use 
case. For instance, we have get_daemon_name() function in 
Sympa::Tools::Daemon.

However, I'm OK to reserve it for object accessors. 
compute_daemon_name() is fine too.
