Yes I think they should be phpified. The fact that we have some historic 
problems doesn't mean we should fix it now. It should probably be something 
like math_is_finite(), math_is_nan() or we can do it without the math_. I 
think in general it's beneficial to have the name of the package in the 
beginning of the name though.

No more than I'd request strlen() be renamed str_len(). =)
