This is not a new class, it is a class that has existed since the PHP 4 day=
s.
Arguably, if this would be a new class, that argument would have more merit=
.
But changing the name of class that is 20+ years old and could have been us=
ed in type declarations since possibly PHP 5.0 is a non-starter IMHO.
