Anyway, my big argument is, formsess should be as easy to use for smarty
users as possible. Personal preferences have to stand back ;)

Yes, that's what I am for.
We could just issue a warning in the old functions and drop them after a while..
I think there're only a few, so the memory consumption shouldn't be that high.

I think it's not so easy to handle, because people have to use different
class names (FormsessBc?, FormsessNew?)
