Even though some of the functions are surely useful, it would be better if they
weren't all in the same module. Having date, math, and string functions all
piled in together is a bad pattern, it would be better to package them up in
separate modules (and remove functions that duplicate node standard lib).
Also, fyi my single brush with php.js was to grab strtotime, only to discover
it was a poor/buggy implementation, so you may not want to trust the source
material.
