It's definitely not the most elegant way, I agree there. But there was
also no sneaking as it was discussed months before, and it was actually
Ilia who suggested doing it in PHP 5.1.0 and not 5.1.1.
Then I have to ask both of you: why is there no mentioning in
the release notes or the upgrading guide regarding "Date"
being reserved for PHP now?
The language/base library might want to reserve certain
simple classnames for itself. That is its right.
But: Doing so in a minor release is absolutely bad timing.
It gets worde because there apparently has been _no_
documentation of the fact at all. How shall our users
prepare themselves appropiately?
I move that the class is renamed for the time being as to not
conflict with existing codebases, and release 5.1.1
expediently.
