The person making changes to the language needs to ensure those changes
are documented.  That can include either writing a first draft of the
docs themselves and/or teaming up with someone on the documentation
team.  The most reliable thing to do is commit the php-src and phpdoc
changes in one commit.

At the very least, we could have a TODO file in phpdoc that contains
a simple plain text explanation of the new functionality.
