I agree. We're about to propose splitting off a couple of pieces from
the saved/restored graphics state (target surface and path), and if
these were accessed via "get" while everything else was with "current"
it would just be confusing.

And besides, even if I'm not a fan of abbreviation, I do like shorter
names when they are equally clear. So I propose "get" everywhere
instead of "current".
