Maybe we should check the premise of this discussion first.
Does that method really have the wrong name? It is called
"createRequest" and after all it causes creation of a network request.
Now this network request is just an internal object, and not exposed to
the API user. Instead the watchable reply object is returned in advance.
Not really an issue, and not entirely uncommon in async APIs IMHO.

Ciao,
Mathias
