Daniel, I don't really understand what renaming the extension would
accomplish.
Then I didn't make myself clear.
The point of renaming would be to allow people to search for something with a
name that doesn't confuse them. If the binding would be called 'mombamoolo',
they would search for that and they would certainly not be confused by
products or projects called curl or libcurl (even if they would know that
mombamoolo uses libcurl).
Now they search for curl and libcurl instead, and they read the docs on our
site, and yes some of them get angry or even hostile on us when they can't
find enough details about PHP on our curl site.
Then again, I did say I realize that a rename won't happen.
And the curl_setopt() page lists more than just the names of the
options.
Hm, I stand corrected. I obviously haven't paying attention. I guess I was
fooled by the "constants" page... Sorry, my bad.
Still, this is a real problem to many PHP users of this extension. Like it or
not...
(and no, I don't suggest that name, it was picked randomly just to make my
point)
