RE: [PHP-DEV] Woah

Agreed, but is the speed loss really worth crying about? It is negligible calling a userspace function versus an internal compared to the greater work that the typical PHP script does. Hell, it's negligible compared to the work gettext does! Nevertheless, your point is made and is fair at that. I propose tackling the problem as mentioned in my previous email, by devising a new runtime function aliasing system ala C #DEFINE style. This can satisfy all parties involved, and while it won't be the easiest solution, I think it will be the most beneficial in future problems of similar nature.
