I came here to plea for the poor, disrespected ticks function.
Then I went to github and asked who was using it...
In the 10,000 results which came up for that string in actual PHP code, I
paged through the first 20% (2000) cases.
They were ALL either a phpt test file, or an auto-generated proxy function
(which appears to not actually have any uses).
So yeah. Pour one out for ol' ticks. May it rest in peace (following a
suitable deprecation period leading up to PHP 9.0).
