For a method this is correct. But for a normal function this is
different:

<?php
function eval() {
}
eval(); // will call the language construct
?>

And i consider it "strange" to allow different names for functions and
methods. And yes I'm aware that
    $eval = 'eval'; $eval();
would call the function.

I fear consistency issues.
