Not necessarily. header() has just to be called before any output is sent.

Probably because the Location header is part of HTTP[1], and actually,
the redirect is not done by PHP, but by the client.
If you prefer to call redirect($url) nonetheless, you can easily define
your own function:
function redirect($url) {
header('Location: '. $url); // further arguments as desired
}
BTW: the webmaster mailing list is probably not the appropriate place
for such requests/discussions[2].
