Hi again,
You already know what I think, I agree that changing core functions could be
pretty confusing and that blindly adding an underscore won't help anyone and
is only a half-way house. If it is going to be done then we should have
meaningful names that newbies (excuse the phrase) can easily pick up and
recognise what the function does.
If the functions are to be renamed/aliased I think ALL functions should be
done to make all of them the same standard - I know this could end up
causing major headaches so I propose that we distribute a program that
people can run their files through and have the 'old' function names
replaced with the new ones. This way the 'old' names can be deprecated and
it should only effect a small number of people that haven't changed their
function names.
