"getmany" doesn't tell you, many of what?
I think the idea is that it would get the same kind of things that get() gets, i.e. items by their keys.
My slight hesitation about "many" is that it's a subjective quantity. (Are 2 or 3 keys enough to count as "many"?) Another option would be 'geteach'—i.e., for each key provided, get a value. Or 'getmult' (multiple), but that could be mistaken as multiplication. Nathan
