In direct response to the question, WordPress does not include a function for this partly because it does not specifically apply to WordPress functionality. I.e. it’s a PHP (potential) problem, not WordPress.
Also, I wouldn’t say it’s WordPress’ responsibility to provide workarounds for plugins etc that don’t provide an function to return data (which is against the general WordPress style).
