If you would like to rename user-visible symbols, please create an RFC,
which details what exactly will be renamed, analyzes what the backward
compatibility impact will be and provides a sensible migration path and
timeline.

If I may be honest, I find it somewhat disrespectful that you started this
thread without investing any effort from your side. A simple "grep
backlist" and "grep master" on the PHP codebase would have gone a long way
towards identifying what can/should be changed.
