"crtime" looks rather too similar to "ctime" for my liking. People who think that the "c" in "ctime" means "creation" are still likely to confuse them. Why not give it a more explicit name, such as "stcreationtime"?
Speaking as somebody who thought the c in ctime meant creation, I'm +1 on this proposal with Greg's modification.
