Kitchen sink isn't the best design imho. I see many of the additions are regexp functions. While I do use them it's rare because they quickly become unreadable. Agree with the python design to decouple and discourage them by requiring an import.

With the recent additions of the prefix/suffix methods I have no desire for any more.
