Trying to put myself in the shoes of the average user, \fake would not mean a
function that uses a fake post event, but rather a function that produces a
\fake something. I would think "this makes a fake slur", which is not the case.
I like \detached because it describes accurately what is going on - if I were
reading the manual and saw that \detached ( created a slur detached from
noteheads, I'd remember the command. \broken slightly less because we are not
always breaking something (we are only doing that with \breakSlur).
