Bug description:  Subscripting into strings would be useful

The now very old North Star BASIC had a wonderful feature that I'd love to
see in PHP, which was the ability to access strings using subscripts,
rather like subscripting into an array, except even better since it
allowed ranges to be subscripted just as easily as single characters in
the strings.

Examples:

$string = "My String";

echo $string[5]; // returns "r"
echo $string[0,]; // returns "My String"
echo $string[3,5]; // returns "Str"
echo $string[,3]; // returns "My S"
