Hi Christian,

It is not a bug. FALSE as a return value of substr() is the identificator
for an error (e.g. invalid arguments), as it is stated in the documentation:

"It is documented that way" and "it is not a bug" are two very different things.
That’s not true. Quoting Wikipedia "A software bug is an error, flaw,
failure, or fault in a computer program or system that causes it
to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in
unintended ways." [1]
In this case FALSE is an expected result and it is intended. And as
I said other languages are going the same way.
