Description
it would be nice if the set of functions provided by this module were behind a namespace (might be as simple as a common function name prefix)
because there is the potential risk of collision with other php libraries (since the name are very short and human readable)
of course, this would imply a major refactor and as such a backward incompatibility

Easily done with a class but I kinda like not having to type the extra chars to call a class function ;) I did do an extensive search for these function names in drupal projects and none exist. I also know none of these functions exist in any Pear classes, phpclasses.org, or hotscripts.com classes either because I've been using these for over 7 years and have never had any collisions.
