Re: Resurrecting the Function Renaming Thread

Sorry for late input on this one - just got back from holiday, but I'd just like to say that I think it is important that we address this issue. I don't care too much what mechanism we use to get there, but it would be really good if at some point in the nearish future there is a clean, orthogonal version of the language which can be called official or pure PHP, where function names and the order of arguments obey sensible consistent rules. It does not matter if PHP has to carry legacy baggage around with it for some time, but it does matter that we should all be able to program without having to remember special cases and taking a quick peek in the manual to find things like the order of needles and haystacks, or whether or not an underscore is required. Also, a cleaned up language gives people fewer excuses for not adopting PHP. Anyway, count me in for help with any work/discussion required.
