Sometimes, trudging through the bug list, I come across things like #5833 or #5123 (thats the ereg_replace bug and the terminating script in comments bug). Are they bugs or is it just the way things work? Who decides? Or is it one of those things that should be documented and left as it is? #5833 definitely seems to be a bug to me, but then again, it is also wrong usage of a function. #5123 seems not to be a bug... but needs documenting. Any suggestions?
Is the manual a definition of how the functions should work - or - are there internal docs that specify the desired behavior of a function? Both of these problems seem like simple oversights to me. Just a case that was not considered or tested for. zak
