[TYPO3-dev] Extensions need update for 4.3!

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i didn't expected such "philosophical" discussion in this thread, my 
original intesion was to inform that devs are update their extension to 
work proper.

Now we are at a point where decision may be difficult, and i want to 
make a new suggestion.

The way of the function isn't consequent too:
* there is type hinting with array but in the function there is a check 
for !array
* 2 parameters use type hinting, one not
* the function also causes problems, Dmitry wrote about in his blog, 
cache tables are filled with results of this function.

So here is my suggestion:
* remove type hinting so function will not stop work
* mark function as deprecated so it will be removed in 4.5
* write a new function that makes it proper, cleaner code and better 
cache handling, now having a better cache mechanism we should use it
