I think 'ask' is the shortest alternative for 'get'. It's not really
a synonym, but it describes the function better than 'obtain' or
'fetch'. You ask an object for the value of one of his properties.
Produces very polite code 
constant win = create(Window, "win", {})
set(win, "Size", {300, 200})
integer width
width = ask(win, "Width")
I think it's ironic that the best English alternative was found by
a Russian guy. Thanks!
