Shame we can't use `cast`, that's already being used for types. And `conjure` probably only works for object constructors.

Erlang/Elixir use "cast" method name when sending messages to their GenServer actor processes.

  • There are two terms.

    * call - to send and await a reply * cast - to send and not await a reply

let's use conjure for method interactions and reify as a special case when that method is a constructor. the more this sounds like medieval alchemy the more I can get behind it, and I've already got misbehaving daemons
