Comment (by rmccue):

 Also, after a check of `disable_functions` via a search over all files on
 GitHub, there seem to be many cases where `fsockopen` is disabled, but
 `stream_socket_client` is not, probably because of its relative obscurity.
 This is really a fringe case, but we may gain a little more compatibility
 with it.

 (Conversely, hardly anyone blocks `stream_socket_client`.)
