Then I went to github and asked who was using it... In the 10,000 results which came up for that string in actual PHP code, I paged through the first 20% (2000) cases. They were ALL either a phpt test file, or an auto-generated proxy function (which appears to not actually have any uses). So yeah. Pour one out for ol' ticks. May it rest in peace (following a suitable deprecation period leading up to PHP 9.0). -Sara
