How are they more language-level features than something like each?

We have added a number of new functions and none of them have gotten weird
prefixes. I really don't agree that any basic language-level functions
should be prefixed with zend_ or php_ or anything like that. Either the
function is important enough to be added and risk the incompatibility or
it isn't. Prefixed functions are messy and will only serve to confuse
people when it comes to the PHP/Zend combination.
