    I definitely wouldn't agree.  Keeping in mind that this is the
official manual, we have a duty and obligation to newbies who are just
looking at their first "Hello World" script as well as those who are
developing mission-critical web systems for corporate and government
agencies.  Removing an entry from the online manual would be
tantamount to ripping out the pages in the Yellow Pages that tell you
which category to see when trying to find something specific.  Unless
the reader is familiar with programming and/or POSIX systems, they've
probably never heard of 'unlink.'

    I understand your angle, Jakub, but I don't think it would be the
proper course of action in this particular case.
