The word "fake" still doesn't sit right with me...  There is nothing fake about 
the slur:

{ a \fake ( b c d ) }

It is real.  The function, to me, should describe an attribute of the slur.  
The slur looks detached and broken, but not fake.

There are commands like slurDashed, slurDotted, etc. that describe what the 
output will be like.  I think it's important to stay in that logic.  If we're 
going to use this for many spanners, my vote would be \broken.  The slurs look 
broken, and things like beams and hairpins will definitely look broken as well 
if we split them using the same sort of algorithm.  To me, something can look 
"broken" and this designation does not have any bearing on if all the pieces 
are there or not.  It is a quality of the object.
