Stu,
What happened to *not* promoting string?

Changed our mind. It helps keep the people with prerelease books busy. ;-) Seriously: I did an audit of several third-party libraries, and concluded that for some libs, the presence of these string functions in core could be the make-or-break difference in needing to depend on contrib. Obviously a slippery-slope argument, but it seemed worth it.

Also, is there an actual patch/diff to review?  I didn't see one in
Assembla.

No -- taking time to get feedback. It will be a simple patch though.
