Your reply is not a spam at all.
I will do

require 'function_aliases.php'; // End of discussion.

If PHP has macro or userspace aliasing!
This is one possible solution for this.

We have class_alias(). We could have function_alias().

P.S. We still carry inconsistent names only, though.
We may be better do this in PHP. IMHO.
