Hello internals,

  after SQLite's commit ~16hours ago i was reminded that i have violated
vertain rules - not change something while in release process and not
changing api's of non experimental extensions.

  I must admit i knew this before but i was in a conflict and i am still.
The conflict is i want consistency and there was a decision for studlyCaps.
To honor the rules more or less i first contacted the relevant ppl in private
and the majority agreed to the change (so i didn't rally wait to hear all).
Obviously i was a bit too hastily here. But i only started to workout the
change because SQLite's OO API was never released other than in RC1 - and
well that it was released like it was is of cause my failure as mentioned
already.

  As you know my actings started a long discussion and now i am questioning:
Are we following our rules and decisions? And if so which rule/decision do
ppl want me to follow? The one i did which potentially hurts some article
writers? Or the other one which would lead to a revert and inconsistency?

  For the moment my decision is to revert await the outcome of the ongoing
discussion. Asked as one of the maintainers i still want the studlyCaps for
consistency. Asked for PHP i also want the studlyCaps. It was a big mistake
not to change the api right after the decision - as i said my fault.

Sorry for the inconvenience
Best regards,
 Marcus
