That assumes there are a hundred places where you want to receive an
ASCII string. Are they really that prevalent?

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.
