I'm much in favour of naming guidelines but we all know that the current
code is in this regard a mess.
Perhaps it can be solved by a number of references to old-style names.
Should IMHO be possible (eg $this->old &= $this->new). When surrouned by
proper and standardized comments they may be removed automatically by a script.
