Description:
------------
Adding a string class to PHP would be greatly appreciated. It would 
allow for direct operations on a string:

<?php
$helloWorld = 'Hello World';

// Assign string 'Hello' to $hello
$hello = $helloWorld->subString(0, 5);
?>

Of course it would support a whole lot more string operations. See C# 
or Java as reference for example.
It should also be compatible with the current string functions. PHP 6 
would be a nice target for this feature.

If for some reason it's not possible to combine this with the current 
approach, consider looking at Objective-C's solution. It requires an @ 
to be appended before the string, so it becomes a NSString instead of  
a regular C string.

This has been discussed on the internals list before, and the support for it seems to be minimal at best. You can read the last discussion about it on this thread:
