Hi guys,
I agree that, given a new Zend engine, it is the best of times to rework
the language. I think Phil is right in pointing out that all
functions/extensions need to be implemented along standardised lines.
It would be best if, once there is concensus on such a frame work, it were
set in (relatively firm) concrete so that extensions which people work on
between now and the function-standardised-tidy-php-with-Zend2 release
work, at least for users, with the said release. This will ensure that
even though there will be many a script in ruin, it will be minimalised.

Perhaps we could provide a script to translate previously aliased
functions to the correct equivalent. No reason why it couldn't be done for
sed (except that we'll have cranky windows users).
