The difference between ftruncate and fallocate is meaningless in userland.
If `fallocate` is proposed in the user-land, then it will be logical to have
it in the stream wrapper API. That's it :-).
I admit that it would be nice for consistency, however I wonder how
users will interpret the difference between ftruncate and fallocate.
Users will interpret exactly what the documentation says ;-). Since PHP
is a scripting language, it is just a collection of cross-platform
bindings (on the top of C APIs in the case of php-src). Some bindings
are just more advanced ones than others. That's all. Someone will be
likely to use `fallocate` some day, for sure.
Cheers.
