Hey folks. I've just started using the var dumper and it seems to lack a rather useful feature: displaying string lengths.

How it currently works

If one of the variables passed to the dumper is a string, it will be dumped as "string-contents"

$var = ['foo'];
VarDumper::dump($var);
>>>
array:1 [
   0 => & "foo"
]

Proposed change

Display the string length in a manner similar to how array lengths are displayed:

$var = ['foo'];
VarDumper::dump($var);
>>>
array:1 [
   0 => & string:3 "foo"
]

A working example can be found in Raveren's Kint project.
