[RFC] [DISCUSSION] Consistent Function Names

Hi all, First of all, I have no intention to remove nor deprecate old function names. Old function names must exist for compatibility and should be able to use forever. We have CODING_STANDARDS[1] for a long time. However, PHP has so many functions that do not confirm this. Many of violating functions can have standard conforming names safely This RFC[2] proposes the CODING_STANDARDS confirmed function names. The list[3] is almost complete, but improvement can be added. For example, get_rusage() could be sys_get_rusage() because there is sys_getloadavg() already. There would not be much opinions for independent modules like BCMath, GD. Please take a look for others and give your comments. Thank you!
