I don't think we need a manual page for this, and am unsure exactly what to do. 
Maybe list all these old/dead/deprecated aliases somewhere? Referring to them 
all over the place may add needless clutter. And the following checks for 
missing docs:

http://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/doc-base/trunk/scripts/check-missing-docs.php?
view=markup

It also skips known deprecated features like key_exists().

Happily, we already have somewhere for this: the list of function aliases at http://php.net/manual/en/aliases.php. The normal procedure (based on the MySQL deprecated aliases) seems to be a listing there and a note on the manual page.

I'll take care of that for key_exists().

Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=303248
Log: Fix doc bug #52806 (key_exists (alias of array_key_exists) undocumented) by
adding key_exists() to the list of function aliases and moving the note about
the deprecated alias to the normal place on the array_key_exists() manual page.
Also removed the now horribly out of date note on the function alias list about
it being correct "as of 4.0.6".

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
