    Oh, come on.  Put it into a utility library; this does not
    belong into the core of PHP.  Or is your argument "we already
    have so much bloat, a bit more is ok, too"?

Rasmus agreed (at least at one time) as previously 
noted that the function was useless.

"I do agree with Sascha that file_put_contents() 
as it is currently proposed is useless. People aren't 
currently writing inefficient code to emulate this 
behaviour so we aren't fixing a file/implode fiasco here.  
We do not need a core function 
to replace fopen(); fputs(); fclose()."

It seemed to me that the function hadn't changed from 
the way it was proposed.

I don't know maybe they just changed their minds.
