No, that's not an option.  I could consider getting rid of the
add-function and remove-function exceptions (i.e. renaming them to
something that starts with "advice-" like everything else in
nadvice.el), but then their "natural" name would probably be
advice-function-add and advice-function-remove, neither of which please
me very much.  Especially given the intention to see `add-function' as
a brother to `add-hook'.
