This might be a poor example of usefulness of overriding existing class/method, but proposed feature may be used for monkey patch for instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch There are issues as discussed in Wiki. So not having such feature is valid option, but it's nice to have feature. Make strlen() return number of chars instead of bytes, etc. I don't have concrete idea right now. If there is cleaver way that avoids disadvantages, I would like to see such feature by default since almost all PHP competitors have this. Any ideas that satisfy most of us?
