     Then I have to ask both of you: why is there no mentioning in
     the release notes or the upgrading guide regarding "Date"
     being reserved for PHP now?

     The language/base library might want to reserve certain
     simple classnames for itself.  That is its right.

     But: Doing so in a minor release is absolutely bad timing.
     It gets worde because there apparently has been _no_
     documentation of the fact at all.  How shall our users
     prepare themselves appropiately?

     I move that the class is renamed for the time being as to not
     conflict with existing codebases, and release 5.1.1
     expediently.
