Bug description:Add third parameter to nl2br

Description:
------------
The name "nl2br" for somebody who doesn't know php very well, suggest that
actually replace "nl" with "br" but is not true. The name of the function
function should be "nl2nl+br"

I think it should have a third parameter like $replace, and actually
Replace the nl with br

I have some clients who used this function inside pre with horrible
result.
Anyway, I think it will be more usefull this

nl2br ($string, true/false, $replace = true/false)

than

preg_replace('#([\r?\n]+)#', '<br>', $string) or
str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), '<br>', $string)
