Yeah, sorry if I didn’t make myself clear. There are various unofficial 
internal names for the original PHP implementation including “Zend PHP”, and I 
think we should settle on one for internal use. We can have it be the 
“nickname”, much like CPython is the nickname of the original Python 
implementation.

“PHP.net PHP” isn’t the nicest of names. I think CPHP, analogous to CPython is 
maybe the best of the available options.
