 even after about 400 custom wordpress instalation i always got problem
 remembering the proper name of many functions, if they are returning the
 content or echoing it.

 Most of the functions got get_something() and the_something() but some
 functions got get_the_something() (e.g. get_the_post_thumbnail) and some
 got the_something(echo=false) or something(echo=true) etc.

 It would be nice if we would consolidate the naming convention (IMO get_
 and the_ would be the best) and make current functions obsolete.
