Re: [PHP-DOC] Aliases for functions, and some "Official Function Naming Rules" From: Daniel Beckham (danbeck <email protected>)

No, I think that when it comes down to it, it's just not worth being
dogmatic to the point that it hampers the coder. Having a standard to help
make it easy to recognize, research and use functions is one thing, but
sticking to it too strictly will make the language wordy and irritating to
use.

Also, we are trying to get away from using aliases.. not move towards them.
