I've been thinking about how to not force UTF-8 in PCRE for PHP 6, and
it's not that simple. This is mainly due to preg_replace(), because it
allows array() parameters that can contain mixed IS_UNICODE and
IS_STRING values. I hope you realize though, that in UTF-8 mode PCRE
does not care about POSIX locales, even in PHP 5.
By the way, I think ICU regexp extension, when implemented, will let
you match Portuguese characters in UTF-8 strings.

I don't think forcing preg_* function to utf-8 is a good idea, but
anyway I haven't looked enough to PHP 6 (yet) to produce a strong
opinion.

Because with UTF-8, PCRE already knows the uppercase and lowercase
equivalents, without having to rely on the POSIX locales.

How does UTF-8 help to make it locale compliant?
