Re: Resurrecting the Function Renaming Thread

Like, I don't even consider isset() in the same category as is_string(), is_array() etc. isset() is like empty() is_xxx asks what type of variable this is. isset asks if the variable even exists. Those are totally different kinds of questions. If I saw is_set(), I'd start looking for a new Type in the language called 'Set' which would be kind of like an array, only different somehow... Dunno exactly what I'd expect it to do differently from an array, but that's what I'd expect. So, are we going to also change empty() to is_empty()? That seems kinda goofy...
