I voted against too. Also, you started the vote with not even a week
between RFC announcement and call for voting, so I guess that makes this
invalid?
Just looked over the RFC, and this whole example is weird:
<?php
var_dump(strncmp("prefix_num", "num", -10));
?>
Why does it even find the substring as you can't do "-10" from the end?
If the number is too high, it should give you a warning.
cheers,
