Comment:

 Core included a polyfill for `json_decode()` (and a few other functions)
 until [46208]. See #47699 for the ticket related to its removal.

 The PHPDOC parser plugin used by DevHub does not currently handle the
 complete removal of a function from the source being parsed, so such
 functions (as the one referenced here) get orphaned.

 I've removed the following polyfills that had been removed in [46208]:

 * `json_encode()`
 * `json_decode()`
 * `_json_decode_object_helper()`
 * `json_last_error_msg()`

 Closing as reported-upstream since this is really a problem for meta.trac
 (though I've taken care of it here).
