I see no gain to do that. It also won't solve the arguments order mess. The last time we discuss this topic the idea was to go for the new pseudo object for most scalar, something Nikita worked on with a prototype, allowing something like $mystring->replace(...); But adding name aliases only to get names_defined_correctly sounds like a bad move to me.
