/**
 * Returns a substring of the input value.
 *
 * The substr process plugin returns the portion of the input value specified by
 * the start and length parameters. This is a wrapper around mb_substr().
 *
 * Available configuration keys:
 * - start: (optional) The returned string will start this many characters after
 *   the beginning of the string, defaults to 0.
 * - length: (optional) The maximum number of characters in the returned
 *   string, defaults to NULL.
 *
 * If start is 0 and length is an integer, the start position is the
 * beginning of the string. If start is an integer and length is NULL, the
 * substring starting from the start position until the end of the string will
 * be returned. If start is 0 and length is NULL the entire string is returned.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * @code
 * process:
 *   new_text_field:
 *     plugin: substr
 *     source: some_text_field
 *     start: 6
 *     length: 10
 * @endcode
 * If some_text_field was 'Marie Skłodowska Curie' then
 * $destination['new_text_field'] would be 'Skłodowska'.
 *
 * The PHP equivalent of this is:
 * @code
 * $destination['new_text_field'] = substr($source['some_text_field'], 6, 10);
 * @endcode
 *
 * The substr plugin requires that the source value is not empty. If empty
 * values are expected, combine skip_on_empty process plugin to the pipeline:
 * @code
 * process:
 *   new_text_field:
 *    -
 *      plugin: skip_on_empty
 *      method: process
 *      source: some_text_field
 *    -
 *      plugin: substr
 *      start: 6
 *      length: 10
 * @endcode
 *
 * @see \Drupal\migrate\Plugin\MigrateProcessInterface
