String functions — especially search-related ones — are haystack, needle (see strpos, strstr, strcspn, strpbrk, etc). Secondly, I feel like this RFC does need to include that it’s a BC break by introducing new global functions. A quick search shows that SugarCRM[1] already implements str_begin and str_end functions and there’s likely to be other projects that do too.
