As I suggested by using runkit (AFAIK it could be extended to be able to intercept calls to internal fuctions .. if it cant do that already) we could provide a BC lib for every BC break we make due to parameter order changing. PEAR::PHP_Compat could be used to fix up all the changed function names or dropped alias.

    Or do that the other way around: Provide the changed ones in there
    for forward compatibility and just break it hard on PHP 6.  :)
