Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Note that `readimageblob` is the canonical name[1] and that method
names are case-insensitive in PHP, anyway.

cmb: Thanks for explaining. I think in this case is wrong phpdoc
`public function readImageBlob ($image, $filename = null) {}`

and web documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.readimageblob.php. 

method names are case-insensitive in PHP: Yes, but united coding style not.

"but united coding style not."

The decision about case for method names was made a long time ago, by the previous maintainers of Imagick. Imagick is a separate project from PHP, and so isn't required to have a 'united' code style with anything else.

Although I have been thinking about converting the case to be camelCase, it is really not that high on my list of priorities. It would be higher if users of Imagick contributed more to any of:

* the documentation.
* code contributions to support new features of ImageMagick in Imagick.
* cash money (I need to acquire a Windows box to be able to investigate Windows issues, as well as start producing 'official' binaries).
* anyone else helping to investigate issues either here or at https://github.com/mkoppanen/imagick/issues

Just to note, the earliest that changing the internal casing of the methods would possibly happen is for the next major version of Imagick, for which there are other issues https://github.com/mkoppanen/imagick/issues/142

This is fixed in the next release of Imagick.
