Description:
------------
I think strpos would be greatly improved if the needle could be an 
array - much like preg_match, but without needing the complication of 
regex.

The only way around this atm is a foreach loop.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Code 1 - currently

foreach(array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2') as $needle)
    if(strpos($haystack, $needle) !== FALSE)
        return strpos($haystack, $needle);

Code 2 - why isn't this allowed?

strpos($haystack, array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2'))

It is strictly less useful than the first. 

Is this something you are still interested in?
