strtok() is not weird because C. It does not rely on the libc strtok() function and did not since at least 1999 (and likely never did): https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/257de2baded9330ff392f33fd5a7cc0ba271e18d#diff-fcf8a2a38ee4a0e3e2cb7c47251c9920ba8c5886d85969f676f9ddbee7aba503R332
strtok() is weird, because someone believed that relying on global state was good API design. I find that excusable, because it happened more than a quarter of a century ago.
