Re: Filesystem path APIs

I'm in favor for this. I think that, since you already have a built-in file API, adding useful functions is always good. I use *\str_starts_with* and *\str_ends_with* a lot in my code. In Laravel, which is the most used Framework these days, you have the \Illuminate\Supports\Str::startsWith and \Illuminate\Supports\Str::endsWith, but it did stop the implementation of those functions in the core and I'm glad for it.
