Hello Jordan,
have a look at the SPL extension (Standard PHP Library) which introduces
a few things (for instance SplFile). Have a look here: http://php.net/~helly
I do not think we need a string class right now unless you want to provide a
full unicode one that later works with HEAD seamingly. If you are intersted,
then the ArrayObject/ArrayIterator implementation in SPL can be made much
faster. I know what to do but have no time for that...
and as always, help is always welcome here
and if you have something to show, then show us :-)
