Current: $foo->execute_query($query, $param);
I think, current standart is "PHP" standart. 


New:     $foo->executeQuery($query, $param);
New standart is somethink like DELPHI or C++. Big problem is PHP is 
case sensitive. executeQuery and executequery is NOT same. PHP use 
another naming convencion as substitute. I think it's better for 
users. I choose old standart.

Currently the onyl class that is affected is the internal class 
"Exception", and that already uses the PEAR standard. (which is the only 
OO standard right now). Functional interfaces won't change, nothing else 
will changes, we just decide that the way to go for classes in extension 
is to use the PEAR OO standard, there is really little to chose for you.
