Hello Will, More than 6 months have passed, and in the meantime the related str_contains RFC has been accepted for the next PHP 8.0 (<https://externals.io/message/109050>). Would you be willing to reboot your RFC with just str_starts_with and str_ends_with (and a stronger case of how people keep implementing them using the inefficient and/or error-prone currently available alternatives)?
