Description:
------------
Maybe this isn't a PHP feature request, but more a browscap related featurerequest, but the manual refers to a special php browscap.ini file, so it could be added. 
Currently the get_browser function returns an object which contains crawler, very handy, because we can easily detect searchengines now :-) In my opinion the returned object should also contain the variable spambot. Now we can detect a spambot on a simulair way.

You'll have to contact the browscap.ini file maintainer 
for this sort of thing. See

Thank you for a good suggestion. I already have such a thing in my browscap.ini file. Spammy or abusive user agents get put into the "Website Strippers" category. It's the single biggest category in my browscap.ini file. ~gary.
