We've had several users this week who expected that /reverse_lookup would normalize the incoming CURIE as well, and being surprised when a secondary CURIE didn't work on NameRes without normalizing it through NodeNorm first. Renaming this to /synonyms?preferred_curie=X might make this clearer. We could also improve the documentation to make this clearer.
If/when we have a NameRes FAQ or a combined NodeNorm/NameRes Jupyter Notebook (#133), this might also be usefully explained there.
