Functions that initialize Emacs subsystems during startup are traditionally called init_FOO and syms_of_FOO.  So I'd rather we left init_itree alone.

As for forget_itree, I don't mind renaming it, although it's largely a wasted effort: that function is only present in the unexec build, and will die of natural causes at some not too distant point.
