Hello, Khalil

Could you explain the pros of your proposal in comparison with the next one:

    <?php

    function somethingWillBeRemovedInNextVersion() {
          trigger_error('This function is deprecated. '
              . 'Please use "newFunction" instead. ',
          E_USER_DEPRECATED);


          // functionality below

          return 'something';
    }

    function newFunction() {
         // ...
    }

    somethingWillBeRemovedInNextVersion();


 From my point of view, the modifier for this kind of things is the 
restriction for developers, who want to inform user about details like 
"why we are going to remove this functionality".
