Morning internals,

        I'd very much like the same as Nikita; that's expected names,
and quickly.

        Already it is going to be extremely difficult to maintain
extensions for <PHP7 and PHP7, we don't need it to get harder, it is not
enough to say that "we have to work something out".

        Fix it, fix it, fix it !!

Cheers
Joe
