I am entirely open to discussion about whether these two functions
are useful enough to fit in the base libraries or not.  I personally
feel that they are, seeing that I had to use them several times in
a relatively short period of time.  I thus expect that many others
have needed to write those functions as well.  This may very well
turn out to be a completely wrong :-).

I guess one step towards is the answer would be knowing if you ever
needed those functions?

Cheers,
