close as it gets I think. - total overkill for manipulating strings IMHO - (me thinks there is atleast one other in agreement) - there is a reason php has all those built in string functions :-)

And there are good reasons why other very intelligent people thought that including such functionality directly in the C++ STL and many other libraries was a good idea too.

indeed - but php !== c++ obviously. personally I don't get your angle on this one, but like Jay I'd be interested to know how you think this might be useful - so if you could give an explicit (as poss.) example it might help us to understand. btw do you think the functionality surrounding stream_wrapper_register() will do it for you?
