oci and gd extensions had mixed-case names for ages,
but you see both mixed- and all-lower case usage
all over the place now

no matter how the function names themselves will be
in the future, case-sensitivity will break app. half of
the existing code using them

we've been fighting about backwards compatibilty issues
far less critical than this and usualy have decided to
keep bc where possible until it really does hurt to much,
all these efforts would become useless if we introduced
a bc breaking change as far reaching as this just for
cosmetic/esthetic reasons ...
