Trying to understand "useless" code

[davidsneighbour]

I am trying to understand the sense (strategy? meaning?) behind a function like the following:

function chunk($items, $size)
{
    return array_chunk($items, $size);
}

There is nothing to it, and only the array part of the function name is dropped. Is this something where all "30 seconds of ***" must have a chunk function or is it one of these "organically grown" functions that were not available in PHP before version X?

It's surely useless... It should be dropped IMHO.
