The same for me except case sensitivity. Full case sensitivity would be good
for performance and users should have consistent name even if they use
case insensitive file system, etc. IMO. There are to many strtolower() calls
and it impacts performance a lot...
BTW, I'm against rename functions. I don't want to rename functions but add
aliases.
These are totally different. Aliases would good for scalar OO API. We are
better to
have intuitive names
$str->something()
and
str_something($str)
To have consistent parameter order, we may have new name for them for both
OO and procedural API.
