Allow me one last post to clarify. What I said is the cost in _this_
case doesn't outweigh the advantages.
As someone who writes a lot of open source (and proprietary) code that
gets run on machines that I have no control over, implementing this
proposal will complicate my life. Every time I make a function I'll
have to ask myself "is this a reserved word in older versions of PHP?"
I'll leave the discussion at that.
Thanks,
