Surely any fool can see that yours is inferior to the following:

    echo trim( substr( (string)$forename, 0, 1 ).' '.$surname );

Why? (some misguided readers might ask) Because, by placing spaces
between function paramater parenthesis, it is clearly easy to
distinguish function parameter bounds from expression evaluation
precedence parenthesis (say that 5 times fast).
