Hi Kim

I for one think this is a good candidate for PHPs standard library.
It's simple, unopinionated and standardized in other languages. Even
though it's simple to implement in userland (as many other internal
functions would be) there's no good reason to require users to
implement it themselves or require a package for simple functions.

+1 from me.
