I object to the following deprecations:

------------

apache_request_headers().=20

The function has that name because once upon a time it was available =
only when PHP run as an Apache module. But although it (and its =
irregularly-named alias `getallheaders()`) is now available somewhere =
else, the functionality has not changed for those that run PHP as an =
Apache module.

Also, according to the documentation, another function, =
`apache_response_headers()`, is also available to other SAPIs. However, =
it has the benefit of not having a documented alias, so that it can =
escape the deprecation proposal?

Note also the existence of `nsapi_request_headers()` function that =
(according to the documentation) does the same thing than =
`getallheaders()` when PHP runs as a NSAPI module.

And last but not least, `*_request_headers()`is more precisely named =
than `getallheaders()` (given the existence of `*_response_header()` =
functions).

That =E2=80=9Cwriteable=E2=80=9D is =E2=80=9Ca spelling mistake=E2=80=9D =
(as opposed to an =E2=80=9Cuncommon alternative spelling=E2=80=9D) is an =
opinion that is not really proveable.
