We generally don't want to clutter our function namespaces with aliases 
UNLESS there is a very good reason for.

What about making FALIASES so it can be found in is_*? Really easier for
newbies.

We want to get rid of function aliases whereever possible,
not generate new ones.

We talked about the naming for the ctype functions back
then when i wrote them and decided not to use is_* as
this would clutter the is_* namespace even more.
(actualy agreement was reached to call them ctype_is_*
 but somehow i didn't get that, but that is a different
 story)

even earlier, I though...

What really needs to be done is to document them better under ereg* and
preg* and, maybe even, strings sections of documentation. This, I think,
would give them the required famousity.

Okay, some of them are in ctype. But it should be easier to have them in
standard so basic user should use them. It would be as easy as is_numeric()
for instance...
