So I have two problems with the _utils name, firstly its a single value
and therefore we shouldn't give it a name in plural, secondly, whenever
I read utils I read utilities, not utilizations.

As a non native speaker I'm not entirely sure, but utilizations sounds
iffy to me, is there even a plural of utilization?
