// String helpers
$slug = str_slug('Hello World'); // "hello-world"
$plural = str_plural('user', 2); // "users"
$masked = str_mask('1234567890', '*', 3, 4); // "123****890"

// Array helpers
$value = array_get($data, 'user.profile.name', 'Default');
$hasKey = array_has($data, 'user.email');
$first = array_key_first($array);

// General helpers
