Comment(by nicklas):

 The functions I found from a quick scan that could be affected by changing
 the naming convention is:[[BR]]

 length3d[[BR]]
 ST_length3d[[BR]]
 length3d_spheroid[[BR]]
 ST_length3d_spheroid[[BR]]
 perimeter3d[[BR]]
 ST_perimeter3d[[BR]]
 MakeBox3d[[BR]]
 ST_MakeBox3d[[BR]]
 Extent3d[[BR]]
 ST_Extent3d[[BR]]
 st_box3d[[BR]]
 st_box3d_extent[[BR]]
 box3d[[BR]]

 length2d[[BR]]
 ST_length2d[[BR]]
 length2d_spheroid[[BR]]
 ST_length2d_spheroid[[BR]]
 perimeter2d[[BR]]
 ST_perimeter2d[[BR]]
 area2d[[BR]]
 ST_area2d[[BR]]
 MakeBox2d[[BR]]
 ST_MakeBox2d[[BR]]
 st_box2d[[BR]]
 st_box2d[[BR]]
 box2d[[BR]]

 -- Those functions I think should keep their names because that tells
 something that they are forced towards 3D, 2D and 4D, not from.[[BR]]
 force_2d[[BR]]
 ST_force_2d[[BR]]
 force_3dz[[BR]]
 ST_force_3dz[[BR]]
 force_3d[[BR]]
 ST_force_3d[[BR]]
 force_3dm[[BR]]
 ST_force_3dm[[BR]]
 force_4d[[BR]]
 ST_force_4d[[BR]]

 Then their is the internal functions. Since it is a major release maybe
 the name convention should harmonize with the internal functions?[[BR]]
