I think if something like this had been suggested in the first place, instead 
of the all-out annihilate _() warfare that took place (and yes, I am guilty of 
responding in kind), we might have had a much shorter discussion. Something to 
consider for the future. :)

I would be happy with this kind of solution (removing _() after there is a user-
space alias_function() call which can create a new name for a PHP function). I 
would be even happier if calling alias_function('gettext', '_') would simply do 
nothing if _() already pointed to gettext(), but I won't quibble about the 
function_exists() check.
