I think it's a good idea, makes the language more consistent.

I could modify str_replace() to have the same behavior with regard to
arrays as preg_replace() - if people agree that it's a good idea..

No it's not the loops it's just PHP being as slow as it always is.

The loop looks something like this:
$str = "lots of text";
$arr = array( "a", "b", "c", "d" );
$vals = array( "e", "f", "g", "h" );
$a =& each( $arr );
$b =& each( $vals );
while( $a && $b )
{
str =& str_replace( $a[1], $b[1], $str );
$a =& each( $arr );
$b =& each( $vals );
}

Anyways this is beyond the point which is that these three functions
(str_replace, ereg_replace and preg_replace) does the same things but
varying complexity, but their usage is not the same. This is just a
matter of consistency amongst functions.
When I want to replace a simple string with another string I use
str_replace, when I want to replace a regular expression with a string
I use ereg_replace or preg_replace. However when I want replace lots
of simple strings I must use preg_replace due to speed. This is not
good.

So I ask again:
Are there any plans to make str_replace and ereg_replace take arrays
as parameters as well, in the same manner as preg_replace does?
(a simple yes or no will suffice)

Or do I have to do this myself?

Why?
Because it's quite normal for functions like str_replace to be *much*
faster than preg_replace, but since str_replace on arrays is slower
(due to iterating over them using PHP code) you have to use preg_replace.

I'll happily use preg_replace whenever I need to do some Regular
Expression replacement, but when I want to do normal text replacement
I expect str_replace to give me the same flexibility as preg_replace.

That's why!
