[V4REV] Advice 2 about func names

[ron barber]

Ruslan, all,

I don't want to minimize the cost of updating legacy apps but 1) I 
think search and replace can do this as Ruslan suggested, 2) more 
importantly, it means V4REV can be more quickly updated rather than 
being the odd man out that requires special processing to keep it up to 
date.

So I am in favor of the new syntax

my 2 yen,

Ron
