Conflicting function IDs

Hi all

We finally have a problem with conflicting IDs.

In PHP6 we have a function (in ext/unicode) named locale_get_default()
In PHP5 we have a function (in pecl/intl) also named
locale_get_default() (compatibility layer (I guess) for ext/unicode).

Both of these, according to our naming conventions, should get the ID
"function.locale-get-default" :|

Now. We are in luck. pecl/intl has dual interface (OO&procedural) so
the pecl/intl function should have the ID locale.getlocale
(<classname>.<methodname> ) according to the proposed OO skels :D

These function ID conventions however could be a problem in the future
so its something worth looking into, I think.

Wouldn't that cause problems for people wanting to use intl and PHP6?
(or do namespaces also work on built-in functions?)
