Hi all,

First of all, I have no intention removing old function names.

PHP function names are subject of critics for a long time.

How about rename all of these functions according to CODING_STANDARD for
PHP7
and have aliases for old names? Some names need complete rename, but most of
them are matter of adding "_".

Function names like phpversion(), htmlentities(), image*() shouldn't be
kept. IMHO.
(I repeat. I have no intention removing old names)

str*() would be most difficult. How about rename all of them to str_*()?
and keep
libc compatible alias names forever?

Thoughts?

It's last chance for PHP7.
Sorry that I bring up this topic again, but I couldn't resist.
If there isn't many objections, I'll write RFC and do all the work needed.

Regards,
