Sorry for the delay.
But I think that a new type specifier could be introduced. If not you are
saying to extensions writers to duplicate the code below a hundred times:
if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "t", &name, &name_len,
&name_type) == FAILURE) {
return;
}
if (name_type == IS_UNICODE) {
buf = zend_unicode_to_ascii(name, name_len TSRMLS_CC);
if (buf == NULL) {
php_error(E_WARNING, "my_var has to consist only of ASCII
characters");
RETURN_FALSE;
}
} else {
buf = (char *) name;
}
With a new specifier you would be sure that the string you received was
ASCII-only and wouldn't have to care with conversions and such.

Check out ext/unicode/property.c where zend_unicode_to_ascii() is being
used.

There is no way to do it right now. I could see it being useful, though.
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
I think we should have a look at it when there is a real need for it as
I think it's going to be a pain for the users...
