Ilia, we need to try to avoid this sort of thinking.  This "vast majority" 
is most likely only a "vocal majority" these days.  It is very likely that 
the non-mb users are actually the "few" and if we continue along your way 
of thinking then we need to have an ext/singlebyte that implements all 
these weird singlebyte string manipulation functions.

We need to move towards a uniform platform that works for everyone without 
putting undue strain on either side.
