This is not altogether accurate. The 'sybase' extension also creates a
set of 'mssql' aliases for all of its functions; the mssql extension
does the opposite. I proposed some time ago that the two extensions
should be merged to cut down on duplication of effort, but that proposal
hasn't gone anywhere yet.
