Yes.

Second function was not needed before now. But I think it is better to
have two clearly distinct functions for clearly distinct tasks than to
return one result on one call, second on the second, third on the third,
etc.

What happens if in half-year we invent USER_DINT and need to cache/not
cache/crash the server/whatever depending on its state? I think putting
it all into userFunc is too much. It makes a big mess. Much better to
use separate functions: one PHP function per one logical application
function. Teaspoon for tea, knife for cutting, etc. Though it is
possible to use them the other way, of course.

I need to think about it, cannot comment right now.
