As we're already two days past the announced end, I've closed the RFC vote.
The final outcome is 26 in favor vs 20 against for str_starts_with and
friends, and 4 in favor to 36 against for mb_starts_with and friends.
Because a 2/3 majority is required, both parts of the proposal are declined.

Based on the discussion during voting, I think that trying this again with
just str_starts_with+str_ends_with without the case-insensitive variants
might pass, as that's where the main controversy seems to be -- though some
people also expressed the view that these functions are too trivial to add
to the standard library.

In any case, thanks for driving this through the RFC process!

Nikita
