Any suggestions? pgdiagnostics?
Yes, I like "diagnostics", or "internals". I just think forensics isn't
going to be understood by the average native English speaker, let alone
non-English speakers.
"diagnostics" is a two-dollar word also. It might be a bit more widely
known than "forensics", but it's longer and harder to spell. Not that
I have any great suggestions to make. Maybe "pgtestfuncs"?
I thought about pgdebugfuncs myself at first. But that's so generic and
pgtestfuncs even more so. Diagnostics is pretty good, that word is in
use in other languages as well as a medical term, so it's meaning would
be clear to a lot of people even if they've never encountered the
English word before.
Besides, the audience for these functions is quite narrow: people
working on PostgreSQL internals, so I don't think the language issue
matters that much.
