There has been a fairly lengthy discussion on the PECL-dev email list about adding a String object to PHP (via PECL). The extension is being proposed by Jessie Hernandez as a way to handle strings in an object oriented way and to organize the plethora of core functions for working with strings. There may also be some memory advantages by allowing these String object to not create copies, but to overwrite the current buffer (it is a mutable string object that is being proposed).
