Research direction
Start with tool/make_stubs and review how the latest PECL releases are downloaded and their stubs are generated. Compare available *.stub.php files and generated information with functions documented on docs.php.net, including the stated limitation around optional and platform-specific features. Done means inconsistencies are identified and reported, but the issue does not specify where reports or changes should be recorded.
