:)  Actually, those are the terms used in the knightcap papers.

It doesn't take much of performance hit at all, because you just
call the function once when the game is over.  The only performance
hit is keeping track of the PV leaf positions for each search, but
that is not much more work than just storing the pv... in fact you
can just store the pv as normal and re-create the leaf position
after the search.
