Req #71697 [Wfx]: Shouldn't call_user_func() be named call()?

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71697&edit=1 ID: 71697 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: kak dot serpom dot po dot yaitsam at gmail dot com Summary: Shouldn't call_user_func() be named call()? Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: To add to that, you oughtn't be using call_user_func() at all and instead just use the normal $func() syntax. The only reason to use call_user_func() is backwards compatibility, so an alias would be utterly pointless.
