I was trying to have a productive discussion on the topic, his response is
the one that added no value, was nothing but a troll.
Anyways, I like the fact my response brought up iterating strings, which I
think as far as code points or bytes etc, go, really its the same problem as
$str{0} on a Unicode string, im sure PHP6 will fix this with Unicode
strings. Still, I wish this was not being removed I have a lot of legacy
code around that uses it and am sure many companies do as well, and it has
always felt more correct _to_me_ but it is what it is. Case closed I guess.
