A nice way to bring a refrigerator water line out of the wall?

Has anyone seen a nice way of bringing a water line out of a wall for a refrigerator. You can just drill a hole and pull the line through, of course, but I was wondering if there was a nicer way of doing it.

Thanks.

I found a water point at Home Depot, similar to the one TheEPlumber posted the photo of. In the instruction it depicts this little faucet screwing right onto a threaded fitting atop a 1/2 copper pipe. Is that the best way to do this, or can I rout a flexible 3/8 tube and attach it. Are there such fittings? The water I intend to send to the refrigerator comes from a RO water filter, not straight utility water, and the filtered water line coming out of the system is 3/8. I plan to split it, sending it to both the little sink faucet and the refrigerator.

Thanks.

I know. Grassyplumber just said that. That's why I thanked him. The line coming from the RO system is pex, I figure I'll rout a pex line to the ice maker outlet box, but the valve on the ice maker box is brass -- or at least all the ones I've found are. I might also guess that there are non-plastic components in the ice maker.
