Description:
Failure to comply with the rules of namespace conventions makes it hard/impossible to use mysql libraries in some cases:

a) function hash_lookup
prevents to link libmysql with imap and/or recode.

b) empty_string
prevents to use embedded server (libmysqld) in PHP.

How to repeat:
- empty -

Suggested fix:
use namespaces

Well I was able only to find empty_string renamed to my_empty_string by
HF changeset 1.1596 2003/09/18.

Miguel, 
 
sorry, a) should be hash_insert, not hash_lookup 
 
Afaik Holyfoot fixed it already (changeset 1.1599)
