Hi Franz,

yes, that is a problem in TYPO3. It forces you to keep the API always
backward compatible and you have more and more old functions. It's
difficult to obsolete them.

We can make a div2007 from div. That's where your the static functions are
in. We can't do this for lib, because the key "div" matters and is part of
all classnames.
