I agree with Philip. pos() and sizeof() are in common use so both
functions should point to the real functions. If it is removed from
the manual, nobody can find an explanation about pos() and sizeof()
or the new function name. Another example: delete() is documented
but is NO PHP function. It is in the docu and delete() have a link
to unlink().
