vc-dir-quick was my idea.

This name implies its implementation has better performance
over its slower competitor.

vc-dir-instant?

I'm saying both the option name and the first sentence of the docstring
don't fit its purpose, or the later description.

This option is multi-purpose and one of its possible values is:

   When a string and `vc-dir' is invoked in a directory outside of
   version control, then this string is used as a default directory name.

You got a point there, but that seems like a rare use case (not sure who would ever use it). I think the variable would be better named after its main use scenario.
