Description:
------------
in my opinion the isset function should be renamed to is_set because other is* functions are called is_*

for example

is_dir
is_file
is_link
is_a

at the moment I don't know any other is* function without the underscore ("_").

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

a) isset is no function but a language construct b) we won\'T change the name due to BC.
