        I like the initial argument brought up by Mr. Wendel, namely to
        easily differentiate between PHP method calls and userland written
        method calls.

How is this an advantage?
You easily see what is taken from the language and what is user-land code. Yeah, obviously. But what exactly do I gain from that? The only thing I could figure is that when you see an unknown function, you can immediately realize whether to grep the repository, or look on php.net/foo (if course unless using a decent editor). This has never really been a problem for me, though, hence the question. I do realize though, that it might slightly increase beginner-friendliness - is that the reasoning behind that point?
