The performance benefit is minimal and opt-in at very minimal effort for userland (literally "run a decent coding standards tool"). Changing this behavior breaks use-cases like shadowing internal functions, which are useful for testing / stubbing / etc. I disagree with the technique, but it is a valid and relied-upon use-case nonetheless. Better ways forward: * endorse userland to use a CS tool * namespace performance-sensitive PHP functions, so we can exclude the entire problem, by having people use the namespaced variant :P Marco Pivetta https://mastodon.social/@ocramius https://ocramius.github.io/
