Hello Will,

More than 6 months have passed, and in the meantime the related
str_contains RFC has been accepted for the next PHP 8.0
(<https://externals.io/message/109050>).  Would you be willing to
reboot your RFC with just str_starts_with and str_ends_with (and a
stronger case of how people keep implementing them using the
inefficient and/or error-prone currently available alternatives)?

Best regards,
