The problem is that tools using the documentation > (several IDEs) think that delete() is a real function and highlight it > as other functions. I definitely wouldn't agree. Keeping in mind that this is the official manual, we have a duty and obligation to newbies who are just looking at their first "Hello World" script as well as those who are developing mission-critical web systems for corporate and government agencies. Removing an entry from the online manual would be tantamount to ripping out the pages in the Yellow Pages that tell you which category to see when trying to find something specific. Unless the reader is familiar with programming and/or POSIX systems, they've probably never heard of 'unlink.' I understand your angle, Jakub, but I don't think it would be the proper course of action in this particular case. -- </Daniel P.
