yes you are missing the point both Anthony and I made, that if we remove
the unicode switch we would commit to backporting most non unicode
features to PHP5.
Which would be great for PHP5 and stone cold killer for PHP6 surely?
Unless you needed Unicode. Hmmm.
So whats the expected future of PHP? PHP4 old now, PHP5 much life yet,
PHP6 obscure functionality only for those that know/need it. ISPs
thinking its great to stay with PHP4/5 as the little guys don't need
or ask for Unicode and therefore very little PHP6 take-up.
