So i find this kind of odd since you use err every other place in bz. but this is a minor nitpick.
- bz_error → bzerror - bz_error_str → bzerrstr Overall I fell this change would be nice for new people coming to PHP and alienate some long time users. We also run the risk at this point that Python has run into with 2 vs 3 which has enough minor changes that no one is moving over and just ended up with people supporting 2 longer and not moving to 3. I feel we can learn from their mistakes. I would vote yes for this but I see why others would not.
