IMHO we should let it be as it is, or even enforce 's' length to be exact unsigned 32 bit. And, we should check for places where we need the conversion to zend_string - those are
- where we work with pure strings in PHP, like substr() for example - where the dependency library requieres or supports that As example - it makes no sense to use zend_string for zlib or ICU, but it's fulle justified for iconv.
