Actually, we phased out "harakiri" in documentation and user-land a 
couple of years ago; we had a complaint about being insensitive or 
something like that.  I'm not certain if "harakiri" still exists in 
low-level internal stuff, but for the users, it's \removeEmptyStaff.   
:)

I think that Erik's suggestion of "Null" makes sense.  Other ideas are 
"Empty" or "Nothing", but I think that Null is still clear enough for 
non-programmers.
