now search by function name, delete() appears.
it described: 'this is dummy. for searcher unlink() or unset()'.
and on PHP delete() really doesn't work.

what about to make it work delete()?, as alias.
if arg is file, unlink() refered.
or if var, unset() refered.


from [ke'izi] : where is [r]?

For any future readers, I propose to discuss this on internals@, tho I don't see a big point myself in adding another alias for some well known functions already (sorry but we generally hate aliases).
