Hi,

We talked about this with Yasuo in regards to some ext/session stuff
(although it was about setters) and agreed on keeping ini_set() only.
He even wrote a quick RFC about it:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-ini-functions

My opinion in general is that we don't need functions that duplicate
ini_set(), ini_get() for a particular setting and existing ones should
be removed in the future instead of adding more to complement them. No
idea what other people think about it though.

Cheers,
Andrey.
