Except that it's not. Most, in fact, do not include it. It's just the high
visibility ones {fopen(), file(), file_get_contents()} that you see it on.

Rather than getting prototype change happy. How about a context parameter
for the file:// wrapper since it only applies to plainfiles anyway. (Note:
Okay so it applies to plainfile wrappers like compress.gzip:// but that just
opens the subordinate resource as a wrapper and winds up at file:// anyway)
Keep the flag on functions like fopen() for BC purposes, but don't add it
anywhere else, there's no need for it.
