Welcome to the club. I sent a similar email about this a few days ago
and nobody replied. I was looking for documentation on the fileinfo PECL
module which is recommended instead of mime_content_type, simple stuff like
what arguments does it take etc. There is also a lack of documentation
for how to install and run and USE PECL modules which is worrying
especially if as you say a lot of PHP is going down the PECL path.
To me PECL looks like a major own goal.
Cue the flames for this being a PHP list and not a PECL list.
