Completely agree on all points. Now we're just left with "is it worth expanding the str api for this?". I don't feel strongly either way. For something as core as the string API, we better feel darn strongly about it before we mess with it :) I'm inclined to leave it alone unless/until Raymond or somebody else steps up to really champion it.

I'm okay with that.

P.S. There's also the language moratorium to consider - since this idea affect the methods of a builtin type, I believe the moratorium applies.

I don't think there's any effort to get this in before the moratorium expires.

Eric.
