Any function and method names starting with a double underscore are reserved by PHP itself for magic functions/methods. A triple underscore function name prefix, however, should not trigger an error. (not saying it's a good idea, but it's out there in userland code) Fixed in the two non-proprietary standards which have checks for double underscored function/method names. Includes additional unit tests for all four sniffs. This PR does not cover similar checks in the proprietary PEAR and Squiz standards.
| Your code also does cover cases when 3+ (not just exactly 3) underscores are used. |
Correct, it does. |

| Thanks for the fix. I also ended up fixing it in the PEAR and Squiz standards because they were trying to do the same thing. |
| @gsherwood You're welcome ;-) |
| P.S.: I did originally also add it for the PEAR and Squiz standards (locally), but ended up removing it as the unit tests I added for it were triggering the CamelCase rules for those sniffs, so no matter what, the function name would end up not being acceptable. |
