Since we have both violations, IEEE and PHP, having both would
be possible resolution. I don't like to be somewhere between.
Some functions confirm, but others don't, isn't nice to have. If we
comply, complying as much as possible is better. IMHO.

Anyway, if you would like to keep only mktime()/nl_langinfo()/etc without
PHP coding standard names. I'll make this an option.

What about adding IEEE confirmed aliases like isalpha()?
Would you like to have these?
