Why not delay Zip until 5.3 and make an E_STRICT or E_NOTICE in 5.2 for the Zip classname being a reserved word?It makes little sense as it is not enable by default. A visible entry in the NEWS and Changelog should be enough. Note that it is exactly what I proposed to solve the date class problem, but it is hopeless.
In fact if we could come up with a list of class names php wants to reserve for itself then we could make them all raise notices so that people have time to fix their code.Yes, I'm still wating a discussion about that, but it seems that I lost my last illusions about PHP being able to prevent troubles instead of acting in the hurry like we just did. --Pierre
