It's an implementation of the file() function in userland code (as
opposed to the internal file() implementation). file() returns all
lines from a file as an array.

I'm not sure what you mean by inline functions. PHP doesn't do
function inlining (and it doesn't seem related to this). Or do you
mean closures? Again, I'm not sure how closures are related to this.

The next major version, i.e. PHP 5.5.
