Steve,
Just to add to what Mark said. There is a little bit more going on than simply
a renaming.
Most if not all of the ST relation functions have automatic index use enabled
in them.
For example
the old within is really closer to the hidden _ST_Within and the new
ST_Within function is equivalent to writing the old
geom1 && geom2 AND Within(geom1, geom2)
Same goes for ST_Contains, ST_Overlap etc.
Hope that helps,
Regina

Hi Stephen,
I don't remember there being much discussion about this, but the
relevant commit can be found here:
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-commits/2007-June/000074..html.
In short, the old function names are deprecated, and new applications should
start to use the ST_ prefix functions instead.
ATB,
Mark.
