Has anyone attempted to make PHP's system functions more Object-Oriented?

Question

I'm just curious if any project exists that attempts to group all (or most) of PHP's built-in functions into a more object-oriented class hierarchy. For example, grouping all the string functions into a single String class, etc. I realize this won't actually solve any problems (unless the modifications took place at the PHP source code level), since all the built-in functions would still be accessible in the global namespace, but it would certainly make usability much easier.

Way too many times. As soon as someone discovers that PHP has OO features they want to wrap everything in classes. The point to the OO stuff in PHP is so that you can architect your solutions in whichever way you want. But wrapping the existing functions in Objects doesn't yield much payoff. That being said PHP's core is quite object oriented already. Take a look at SPL.
