08/12/2024, 7:52 PMthey did something cool and then it was deprecated for no-reason, because what if you use some weird chars? 😕

08/12/2024, 7:55 PMIt wasn't deprecated for no reason. Look at the comments section under my answer. You found the original function cool, but a lot of people were confused. Not everyone has the same idea about what a function with this name should do, so it was decided to deprecate it until the user needs were more clear.

08/12/2024, 7:55 PMit would be easier to understand with a for loop and look worst
server
08/12/2024, 7:56 PMmaybe its a cool idea for improvment. I don't get the replacement, its just complex for no reason

08/12/2024, 7:56 PMRegarding the replacement, you actually probably shouldn't use it as-is. This is to allow users to migrate to the exact same behavior via automated quick fix. You might decide that you don't actually need the weird original behavior, and instead use a simpler replacement.
