I would definitely not want to see any ini settings. There should not be ini settings that change language semantics, it'd be a nightmare to maintain and trying to write supported reqs for an app would look like whole page of settings eventually if we do it. With that, I don't think it'd break every single app - many apps actually now, thanks to modern IDEs, are pretty consistent with names, and most problems can be figured out by a tool. But I agree that such things should not be a top priority. There are many things that would have much better impact on much broader category of developers than fixing small annoyance with a change having huge price tag (the same goes for renaming functions, etc.). -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
