It won't break and if it does, all the better :)
As you see people do take example from the test cases if they are meant to

I think for 4.1 we should nuke cfunction and possible also old_function.
Don't forget that cfunction had a very very short live-time in the beta's
of PHP 3. We made the function<->old_function switch pretty early.
