Do you really ask me what Zip say?

For 99.999% of PHP users, I think it is pretty obvious, in a
programming context with an extension called "zip", and even more when
they have enabled it themselves. There is maybe a couple of people who
will expect a kind a php based zipper, but really, do we care?

It makes no sense to rename it (for all reasons I listed above). I can
wait php 6.0 or until I eclipsed Methuselah's age.

Users will suffer from your choices, not me, too bad.
