Alas, the problem is known and the name should be changed. My fault here
--some people here keep picking on me on a regular basis. I'll gather
the name proposals in a forthcoming mail and we'll try to make it happen
for 0.9 (that's one of the few remaining prerequisites to leave the
long-standing pre-0.9 serie).

Fine. I guess these figures should be put somewhere on the website.

Ouch! This is another known issue that should be addressed for 0.9 as
well. As Yannick said, auto-completion is your friend, however this is
not a definitive answer. I'll post soon a API-renaming proposal,
dedicated to the most useful methods --and fetching should be made
simpler.
  It should have been addressed for long --be sure it's not
unwillingness, rather a matter of time. As usual...

  As far as caseInsensitiveLike is concerned: I once made 'ilike' an
  alternate for 'caseInsensitiveLike', but it seems to have
  disappeared. Back again on cvs, and attached is the corresponding
  patch. This will be in next release.
