Since there has been no feedback so far, I would like to go on with a
deprecation RFC.  As this deprecation doesn't seem to be highly
controversial, nor requires an eleborate justification, I like to
request permission to add it to the general "Deprecations for PHP 8.5"
RFC[1] which is still in draft status (although it erroneously says
"Pending Implementation").
