The existence of substr_compare() and strncmp() is also my main
motivation for voting No, though I also share Zeev's reasoning.
You're right that the 2 already existing functions are a bit less
convenient to use, but the RFC doesn't even try to make a case for
that, so how do we know this was even considered? While I'm not
against having more than one way of doing things, I do think we need a
compelling enough reason to add a third way of doing the same thing
and here we don't even have an attempt to convince us.
Cheers,
Andrey.
