That's a bogus argument. In what case do you think they should be effectively managed with mbstring functions..? As PHP's functions are mostly highly-completed on its role and they don't need any additional operations in most cases, I don't have to use mbstring functions there.

String manipulation functions provided by mbstring are atomic
and so they are used just in the same way as
their standard counterparts like substr() and strpos().

I see a few cases that the strings fetched by fgetcsv()
have to be modified by substr() or whatever..
