Post-Brexit, GDPR is a dirty word in Britain though. It's part of the dreaded pan-European regulation that must be purged post haste.

So maybe it's:

Does PHP have a limit on the length of a function name?

So no.

Though funny side note, there is a historic reason that function names are so inconsistent in PHP: The length of the name of a function was used for hashing. So you wanted a to vary the length to achieve a roughly even distribution of lengths.
