Summary
I am looking to name a new operation in the Cat programming language.

I am looking to name an operation which takes a function/program and returns a list of operations representing its constituent operations. For example using the name "sunder" it would be as follows:

>>> define f { 1 2 + }
>>> @f sunder writeln 
( _1 , _2 , + ) 

The "@" operation pushes the function onto the stack without executing it.

Below is a list of current contenders. Any votes or suggestions would be much appreciated:

decompile
decompose
split
sunder
uncouple
unlink
listify
to_list
to_ops
get_ops
constituents
subprograms
function2list
fun2list
fun_to_list
