For the 10^347 times, the problem was/is not Date but the way global
namespace and features got in late in the game, without previous
warning in any previous PHP release or any announcements.
The problem is that we just considered that we can do it whenever we
want and how we want, that is the horrible mistake.
Things are however getting better, at least for a limited amount of
developers who have to justify/explain/change the names they use in
their extensions. It will be perfect if this rule applies to anyone
and the naming decisions are done before the extension/addition is in
a release (RC or final).
