===========================
Rule ``no_alias_functions``
===========================

Master functions shall be used instead of aliases.

.. warning:: Using this rule is risky.

   Risky when any of the alias functions are overridden.

``sets``
~~~~~~~~

List of sets to fix. Defined sets are ``@internal`` (native functions),
``@IMAP`` (IMAP functions), ``@mbreg`` (from ``ext-mbstring``) ``@all`` (all
listed sets).

Allowed values: a subset of ``['@internal', '@IMAP', '@mbreg', '@all', '@time', '@exif']``

Default value: ``['@internal', '@IMAP']``
