Bug description:remove or change the 'function' in classes

Description:
------------
The function keyword is pretty deprecated in php atm. If you got a function
inside 

a class people always refer to it as a 'method' and not a function. Besides
that, 

there is actually no need for that keyword... 

class foo {

  public function foobar() {}

}

Is actually the same as:



class foo {

  public foobar() {}

}



Should not be hard to understand that it's a function or method...



I propose to either change the keyword to method or remove it completely

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class foo {

  // old

  public function foobar() {}



  // suggestion 0

  public method foobar() {}



  // suggestion 1

  public foobar() {}

}
