Bug description:  Ability to ignore / separate PHP5 functions when browing the 
documentation

Description:
------------
It would be very helpful if it was possible to better distinguish PHP5
specific functions when browsing the documentation. A lot of people will
be coding for PHP4 for quite some time, and showing functions that are
only available in PHP5 or in CVS might be confusing to them. Of course the
version compatibility of the function is displayed on the top of every
help page, but this is very easy to miss. And considering the sheer amount
of functions that are available, some kind of limiting would be quite
beneficial. 

This separation could be done in several ways, for example: 

- Separate documentations in different locations
- Through a "My php.net" setting
  - Displaying new functions in different color 
  - Hiding new functions completely

This setting could naturally also be used to otherwise customize the help
system, for example hiding functions for extensions that are rarely used,
or setting the preferred PHP version number and showing only the functions
that are relevant to that version, etc.
