Thanks for the patch, @shehzaadn. This looks like a general enough built-in
function to include in Phoenix IMHO. See inline for more specific comments.
It'd be much better to include the first two commits as external dependencies.
If we don't do that, we'll need to quickly follow up with replacing them with
external dependencies (and make sure we don't change those files at all).---
