The final decision will be of course up to you guys, but I would hope
that the patch be applied.  The patch would make the page a little too
big, like you say, but I would vote for the consistency in page format
(I don't see constants given as ranges elsewhere), than a slight page
size increase in just one extension.

But again, I won't hold it against you even if you decide not to apply
the patch.  ;-)

It's easier to parse the doc files because they are already well
structured in XML.  Plus the PHP sources don't have those nice
function/constant descriptions that the doc files have, and we prefer to
provide them too in our app.   That makes it easier for the users to
understand and choose the right function/constant etc, based on the
description being presented to them.

A slight inaccuracy and outdatedness would be fine, as long as we can
spot and correct it, in which case we will be sending you guys a patch,
of course.
