RFC Concept: "Import" of simplied string manipulation and other instructions from ASP Classic

Hello Everyone, I'm not here to to enter in "mysterious RFC processes" nor I want "to change the web", sorry for that.But I think that this notice is due from the fact that playing for your own reputation nowadays is a quite a common game. And after all my proposal comes as request of "simplification" of my programming life, and hopefuly yours. Neither I will feel depressed if my past love for ASP Classic is not imported in PHP: simply because this doesn't want to be a romantic recall of the past, neither..However: for the most curious and *info hungriest* I can confirm you that ASP Classic has been around for a lot of time and still is *silently* implemented for some mere intranet, extranet and websites. Time-to-time I still break on Classic ASP websites but frankly the language is promoted for a silent disapperance. And this obvious to all. Prefance finished. Since when I started to switch to PHP development I found myself failing sometimes on obstruct syntax and not so simple-as-on-the-go instructions. On the obstruct syntax, I fixed my coding erasing the more naif syntax or deprecated or unsafe code. On the simplicity, I found myself within the need to replicate a lot of Classic ASP simple instructions (mostly time and dates, string manipulation instructions, etc) and starting a sort of PHP Simplification Process on some other instructions like is_set that became is_set1, accepting a default value; adding to filtring functionalities, by reg expressions; etc, etc. Why this RFC Concept? Well, I finally found myself keeping around with a couple (also a dozen) of  includes files with "simplified functions" that probably you are in good habbits to create by your own too - maybe. Second, missing the the second factor in a "mystical war" between languages (see Classic ASP), I don't see the reason why we can look to "import" some good stuff from there simplifing the developement process of all for the better? Waiting your considerations and.. Hope this helps! Daniele Boninihttp://github.com/par7133
