You left off language consistency between variable names, and function names.I consider that the 'warm fuzzy feeling' of purity, which I can totally understand and sympathize with. However, this sort of consistency between variables and function names is not mandatory, in my opinion, not mandatory enough to break compatibility in such a broad way, and after such a long time.
We are already completely redesigning OO which is like standing at the drawing board.Even with the whole new object API, most of the code would work without modifications (at least mostly all of the PHP object code I got to take a look at). And if it doesn't - turning on PHP 4 compatibility should bridge the gap... Zeev
