In userland we can only do something like $str = new String('my_string_class'); echo $str->length();But that's useless. It would be great if method calls on primitive types could be supported, like in Nikic' proof of concept (https://github.com/nikic/scalar_objects). $str = 'my_string_class'; echo $str->length(); I would really like to see that in PHP. It's not only a nicer and shorter way to code but it would also be a solution for the function naming inconsistency ;-)
+1 from that, fortunately since it's an extension it won't be subject to a vote, you can use it or not. :) The core seems to be heavily protected by the core developers.
