As it looks to me, in order to fix the fact that people are
not using existing function (which completely satisfies the
requirements), because people do not read the docs, the proposal is to
create another function (which nobody knows about without reading the
docs) that does the same? If so, I'm not sure how that is supposed to
help anything.
