Re: mb_ucfirst and mb_lcfirst

I think it would be useful. For some reason, lots of people on stackoverflow has a hard time implementing this function in userland: on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2517947/ucfirst-function-for-multibyte-character-encodings there are 10 broken implementations of mb_ucfirst, and 1 correct one (disclaimer: I only consider my own implementation correct: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58915632/1067003 and consider every other implementation on the list broken in one way or another. and i was really surprised that nobody else got it right.)
