At least it fits better to the current naming scheme of t3lib_db. In v5 it should probably be
executeStatement(), but we're talking about v4 here.

I think it's a metaphor. While the object is in the DB it is frozen, when retrieved back into memory
it will thaw (thaw means for a frozen object to get fluid). So IMHO it would be more natural to thaw
objects, but not properties. Anyway, it does not mean "merge". Perhaps "populate" or "fill in" are
more fitting.
