It's not a "get" since we actually create something.  I prefer
#to_lambda (or #to_something_else) because it actually converts the
object to something else (btw. #to_enum works similarly, i.e. by
wrapping the instance at hand with something else which provides a
particular interface).  Also "to" is shorter to type than "create".

Yeah, that's the spirit! :-)
