It's hard but not impossible to extend internal classes. The workaround is to write thin wrappers with the studlyCaps convention which only just call the methods in their parents like INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAM_PASSTHRU. After then comes the real class that extends the functionality by extending the wrapper. So if another class extends the latter it does not have to know that the top into the hierarchy is an internal class that uses different naming convention. Anyway, this is an way to workaround, not completely clean but can help.
This whole issue is non-technical and purely stylistic. Neither outcome would keep anyone from achieving anything, it may just make life more difficult for the PEAR folks.
