Can I rename {block} to {area} tag?

I tried to rename the file smarty_internal_compile_block.php to smarty_internal_compile_area.php, class Smarty_Internal_Compile_Block to Smarty_Internal_Compile_Area, Smarty_Internal_Compile_Blockclose to Smarty_Internal_Compile_Areaclose, but this does not work.

You can't rename it by just renaming the file and class name. The tag {block} is uced also inside the smarty code.

Also irts not a good idea the rename build in tags. You will not be able to update Smarty for bug fixes or new verison withou complications

Don't try to change the internals of Smarty. If you want to use {compile} istead of {block} in your templates, write a prefilter that does the swap just before compile time.
