I think this is a procedure which is quite common in "state of the art" 
APIs.

That doesn't look strange, it indeed ist, and I think this also wouldn't be 
good code due to confusing function and parameter names. Yes a developer 
should know the API he is using, but an API should also somehow be easy to 
handle if possible and not make the developer google a days and a half until 
he gets to this discussion to understand this odd naming.
