Given the unpopularity of the name, it's not worth it, so I'll go with Robert's report_corruption, instead.

Yeah, that's not really a good reason for something like that. I think
what you should do is drop the nbtree portion of this for now; the
length of the name then doesn't even matter at all, because all the
code in which this is used will be new code. Even if we were churning
existing code, mechanical stuff like this isn't really a huge problem
most of the time, but there's no need for that here.
