Moreover, we do have such an extension, it's called "mbstring" and you can use
it even in PHP4.
But the point is that it's _just an extension_, hence the Unicode support is
far far from full.

If you don't need Unicode, you don't need PHP6.
It's that simple.
So, all the time and effort going into PHP6 is for 1 maybe-used set of
functionality which also seems to slow down the entire system. I know
I MUST be missing something here.
