The problem here is that "log" seems to be a verb in "log_collector"

"autovacuum"
because that one cannot be confused with a verb.
start_log_collector still gets my vote.
log_collector_enable or log_collector_start or even log_redirect.
But
something with log_*
I'm voting with Alvaro on this. All of your suggestions are confusing
because "log" looks like the verb, which it is not. Specifically,
they
sound like what the switch does is to cause a log message to be
emitted
about some action that would occur anyway.
AIUI, if the-GUC-yet-to-be-named is not enabled, no logging is done
at all: messages are just sent to stderr. Why something simple like
enable_logging or start_logger?
