 New Comment:

you can already do it with a wrapper of string now:
<?php
class Strings {
    private $str = NULL;
    function __construct($str) {
        $this->str = $str;
    }

    function __call($method, $params) {
        return new self($method($this->str));
    }

    function __toString() {
        return $this->str;
    }
}

echo (new Strings("Hello, World"))->strtolower()->ucfirst();

Description:
------------
I propose to introduce new methods for the core PHP types like arrays, strings, floats etc? For
example it would be super cool to write something like this:
[1, 2, 3]->sort()
"Hello, World"->lowercase()->ucfirst() etc.
