Comment (by itsananderson):

 Replying to [comment:5 ethitter]:
 > `get_the_title()` and `get_the_guid()` both accept an ID, so the use of
 ''the'' already doesn't indicate that an ID is or isn't accepted. The
 ''the_'' and ''get_the_'' conventions simply indicate that functions
 either `echo` or `return` the information they retrieve, and this ticket
 doesn't aim to change that.

 I chose a bad example, since an ID is accepted by the `title` functions.
 `the_content` and `get_the_content` would be better examples. Still, not
 really relevant to this ticket.

 I've added a modification of Eric's patch that aliases get_permalink
 rather than deprecating it. This way people can use the intuitive name,
 but legacy code won't break or throw deprecated notices.
