Just because I had this in mind for days now, but didn't know, if that
comes up already, or if it is just a stupid idea: Wouldn't it be possible,
that somebody maintains a PECL-extension (or even userland), that keeps the
compatibility to pre-PHP6 function names and parameter order? So the core
could become "clean" of inconsistencies, but legacy code should still work.
