This is too complicated from the installer end. You can, of course,
make it so that the file containing the function is only installed if
PHP < 5.

That would be essentially putting a really brilliant brain inside
package-validate, something that is, to say the least, extremely
complicated.

In other words, that will never be a standard part of PEAR version 1.x.
There is some remote possibility that PEAR2 (vaporware atm) could be
modular enough to support something with this using PHP_Parser, but
that's WAYYYYY in the future.
