Hi Daniele,
I think many of these functions might already be part of popular userland
libraries like Symfony String component
https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/string.html#methods-added-by-bytestring
It might be worthwhile to add missing functions to such userland libraries.
Imho, PHP stdlib has enough string functions for allowing developers to
write polyfills in userland code fairly easily.
Regards,
Faizan
