I assume it's "no replace", meaning it reports the error rather than use the coder's replacement value.

I agree it could be renamed but I think look at CodingErrorAction for the established terminology. Your suggestion for "fast fail" will create confusion as maintainers will be forced to wonder if there is potential for failing lazily.
