Bug description: wish: extra strtr features similar to GNU strtr
Description:
------------
Can we have the extra features added to strtr() that are in the GNU strtr?
They'd be really useful.
In particular, the ability to delete certain characters from the string
[currently we must resort to str_replace, which gets ugly], and to squeeze
repeated characters to a single one [requires preg_replace() at the moment]
This could be done by adding some predefined constants such as
STRTR_DELETE, STRTR_SQUEEZE_REPEATS
Reproduce code:
---------------
In GNU tr, we can do things like
echo "hello world" | tr -s "l"
#results in "helo world" (duplicate 'l' removed)
echo "hello world" | tr -d 'od' ('o' and 'd' removed)
#results in "hell wrl"
echo "hello world" | tr -s "wl" "zl" (translate AND squeeze)
#results in "helo zorld"
(Support for character classes might be nice too)
Thank you.
