It's theoretically doable, but there are complications. Main amongst these is the function being a crawling horror.

And yet... It looks like some actual string parsing functions may now be enabled as inherent functions (which is to say, Special:Version mentions having https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions enabled, which appears to have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions mostly folded into it, which actually features useful tools.

I'll have to experiment with seeing if it actually works, and if it does, quite a lot of things will suddenly become easier, and more will become practically possible.

Give me some time to have a hack around and see what works...
