I like AT.
I would be concerned by (setf (getat ....) ...)
My thoughts were GREF and XREF, and why we are not using a case-sensitive Lisp.

Dear all,
in the quest for RESTHBDB) RE-doing Stuff That Has Been Done Before) I am trying to come up with a name for a referencing/dereferencing operator.
Think of something like
(<name-of-reference-operator> #2A((1 0) (0 1)) 0 0) ==> 1
of
(<name-of-reference-operator> #H((foo . bar) (we . 42)) ‘foo) ==> BAR ; I am cheating. #H(..) is a hash table.
SETF methods will be defined as expected.
Now. What could be a good name? I have the following list.
REF REF$ [] [[]] AT @ GETAT
What do you think? (Full disclosure: I usually refrain from taking up non alphabetic names)
Cheers
