RFC Concept: "Import" of simplied string manipulation and other instructions from ASP Classic

Hello Everyone,
I'm not here to to enter in "mysterious RFC processes" nor I want "to change the web", sorry for that.But I think that this notice is due from the fact that playing for your own reputation nowadays is a quite a common game. And after all my proposal comes as request of "simplification" of my programming life, and hopefuly yours. Neither I will feel depressed if my past love for ASP Classic is not imported in PHP: simply because this doesn't want to be a romantic recall of the past, neither..However: for the most curious and info hungriest I can confirm you that ASP Classic has been around for a lot of time and still is silently implemented for some mere intranet, extranet and websites. Time-to-time I still break on Classic ASP websites but frankly the language is promoted for a silent disapperance. And this obvious to all.
Prefance finished.
Since when I started to switch to PHP development I found myself failing sometimes on obstruct syntax and not so simple-as-on-the-go instructions. On the obstruct syntax, I fixed my coding erasing the more naif syntax or deprecated or unsafe code. On the simplicity, I found myself within the need to replicate a lot of Classic ASP simple instructions (mostly time and dates, string manipulation instructions, etc) and starting a sort of PHP Simplification Process on some other instructions like is_set that became is_set1, accepting a default value; adding to filtring functionalities, by reg expressions; etc, etc.
Why this RFC Concept? Well, I finally found myself keeping around with a couple (also a dozen) of  includes files with "simplified functions" that probably you are in good habbits to create by your own too - maybe. Second, missing the the second factor in a "mystical war" between languages (see Classic ASP), I don't see the reason why we can look to "import" some good stuff from there simplifing the developement process of all for the better?
Waiting your considerations and.. Hope this helps!
