As long as it works on a premise that a "string" is a byte array
and each element represents 1 byte, +1 from me.
Code written on this premise is almost always bug central when people
finally get around to realizing why they really do need to support
wide characters (and everybody does, because people like to paste
stuff containing non-break-spaces, and decorative quotes). I really
don't think this single byte character mentality should be
encouraged.
I think you're right, TextIterator would be better (and also much easier
to implement, I think). Didn't we have it in Unicode branch? We could
port it back or we could have something along the lines of
grapheme_extract...
Also, how do you think this will work with the Unicode conversion in
PHP 6? Guaranteed, this will break stuff. Some people will have
I don't think we need to worry about PHP 6 now... If we ever get back to
Unicode support, it probably will be different.
