Yes.

c-client is the library that php links against to provide imap/pop3/nntp 
functions. So in a sense _everything_ is c-client interaction. Also, 
imap_fetchstructure _is_ what asks for BODYSTRUCTURE. We can't make 
imap_fetch_overview() ask for BODYSTRUCTURE without modifying c-client. Which 
isn't an acceptable requirement.
