I realized that I broke my own rule of criticizing something without suggesting a replacement. I don't have anything that jumps out, but in python, the struct module has pack() which us just as long and not used (to my knowledge)

Suggestions:
pack
wad (another indirect Doom reference)
bale
herd
doss
transfigure (probably too long)
