Maybe it's a stupid idea, you'll tell me :) Wouldn't it be a good thing to
issue a notice when people use the alias instead of the correct function
name?
This is essentially a description of the visible effects of
deprecation, and would cause a *lot* of issues in userland if this was
done straight away, since there are literally millions of applications
using functions that are candidates to be aliased in every page load -
remember that everything, including error messages, has an overhead.
What would be the plans to have developers use the updated function names then? php.net documentation redirects from the old function name to the new function name page?
