Re: Flexible function naming

That's a horrible idea Robert, sorry. You would end up with dozens of different ways to call the same function. Plus libraries incompatible without that option set. But I will center in a much clearer problem: suppose you need to look up where is somefunctiontocheckusername() called. Is it called as 'somefunctiontocheckusername', 'some_function_to_check_username', 'some_function_to_check_user_name', 'some_function_to_check_userName', 'someFunctionToCheckUsername', 'someFunctionToCheckUserName', 'SomeFunctionToCheckUsername', 'SOMEFUNCTIONTOCHECKUSERNAME', or maybe 's_o_m_e_f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_t_o_c_h_e_c_k_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e' ? And no, even if you have an über PHP editor which knows how to handle it, there are cases when you are in a remote system, remotely connected to the server... and loading a full project into a big editor for a function search is not practical. While every (decent) editor is able to make a case insensitive search. If you really want to rename core functions in your own system, you can do it with runkit... But remember runkit motto: «For all those things you.... probably shouldn't have been doing anyway....»
