    First, this is not urgent based on our release schedule. If no better 
solution is proposed, we can still revisit this PR before the release.
    
    Second, adding more extra string functions looks not good to me. It is just 
hard for us to maintain. We already have many xyzString functions. We do not 
want to complicate the codes for this. 
    
    Third, to really resolve this issue, the current solution is not clean. I 
do not like adding the types into the plans that are already very complex.
