Given that PHP 6 far off target, I think we need to develop a
solution that works now. We've already waited too long given how many
classes were added in-core & extensions since 5.0 was released. Just
like we have a naming convention for functions we need to decide on
one for classes as well. As far as date class in particular, I think
we just need to pick a non-intrusive name for the 2 classes that
extension offers and be done with it.
And we need to get a bit on track as well. Let's outline possible
options for names, vote on them and move on to more important things.
The two naming options available so far are:
Option A: DateTime & DateTimeZone
Option B: PHPDate & PHPTimezone
More names are welcome.
