Not useful.
Easily implemented in user-space.
Performance would never be an issue for a function typically used on small strings a few times per
request.
In the multi-million-line web application I work on this probably would not be used even once.
Please stop this. Your mails read like AI slop, and your proposals are of very poor quality. I
suspect that there are more than a few thousand humans reading this list, and you are wasting their
time.
Please don't see this as a personal attack. It's the work that is not good enough, not you
as a person.
