Allow me one last post to clarify.  What I said is the cost in _this_
case doesn't outweigh the advantages.

As someone who writes a lot of open source (and proprietary) code that
gets run on machines that I have no control over, implementing this
proposal will complicate my life.  Every time I make a function I'll
have to ask myself "is this a reserved word in older versions of PHP?"

I'll leave the discussion at that.

Thanks,
