Is this something that could be fixed if it's moved to a namespace? The
new
"alias" can have the "correct" order but original function can have the
old
order.
No, it would me having two implementations.

There's only one way to both maintain BC during a "transition" period, and
fix flaws to prepare for the next 10 years. And that's having two
implementations.
The original one will gradually be deprecated and eventually removed.
