I think old function names should exist forever, so there wouldn't be issue you mentioned.

The issue here is PHP will keep inconsistent names forever or not. IMHO.
Have you noticed the slight contradiction here? You want to get rid of the inconsistent names, but you propose to keep the old, inconsistent, names around forever. And then you want to add more names, so that people can inconsistently use a different name for the same thing.
We all wish we could go back in time and tell Rasmus to choose better names (probably including Rasmus himself; no ill will intended!), but just adding some slightly different names for the same things will muddle people more, not less.
I'm sorry, but this isn't going to be any more popular a suggestion than the last ten times it was proposed.
