Thanks for pointing out substr_compare(), of which I even have not been aware of. And indeed, substr_compare() is perfectly suitable to verify whether a string starts or ends with a certain substring, so, in my opinion, there is no need for the other functions to be added to ext/standard. -- Christoph M.
