Yeah the mixed naming conventions were starting to annoy me too recently. Haven't been using the language nearly as long as you have. But I would hope they would do something like rename all of the runonname functions the other way, alias the old names to the new ones, and then include a deprecation message for the old names and move on. At least that way it would be backwards compatible for however long before they're removed entirely.

Would also prefer renaming some functions like strlen to string_length or at least str_length.
