PHP has long since spawned into something uncontrollable. Compare the
number of functions (and its aliases) to eg Ruby. The string functions in
particular are absolutely bloated, eg ltrim, trim & rtrim - WTF. Why not
just have trim() and have the option of specifying whether
left/right/both? The same goes for the case-sensitive and
case-insensitive versions of functions.
