Bug description: Some functions to manipulate include_path (or any path list
in general)
Description:
------------
include_path *is* complex. How do you add something to include path
without detecting the operating system first? How do you remove something
from the include path?
It would be great if PHP has an API that allows manipulation of include
paths as array.
include_path is so tied to the operating system platform and many
libraries have tried to autodetect the platform and map it to a path
separator (usually ';' for Windows and ':' for non-Windows, but you can
easily see that even my statement is wrong, as is not always the case).
How to separate paths in Mac? It uses ':' as the path element separator,
so? (I don't know the answer).
Adding a constant for path separator ('/', '\', ...) and path list
separator (';', ':', ...) would partly solve the problem. It'll be even
better if there are some functions to manipulate them. Of course not tied
to include_path, but general functions to manipulate any path list, since
they're very often used, like for manipulating the PATH environment
variable, and other stuff.
