Comment (by Iazel):

 Replying to [comment:3 dd32]:
 > Since we can't enforce it that other plugins won't have a similarly
 named function, or that plugin authors would use their plugin slug, that
 raises the possibility of conflicts. Sure, it's a small case, but it's one
 that exists.
 It's the same thing with named function, isn't it? I could also inject
 some very common function name, like:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function format_content($content) { /* code */ }
 add_filter('the_content', 'format_content');
 }}}
 I could do that, but anyone who want to publish his plugin know that he
 must give his function a good name that will not cause conflicts. With
 this small addition, who want to use a function doesn't need to think
 about it anymore, just use the plugin domain (that it's already specific)
 and you're done :)

 Regarding the other points, I can't say much because that's your opinion,
 programming is also nice because you can do it in your way and I think
 this change respects that principle :)
