@zonuexe Wow!!! I am floored by the quality, detail, and lucidity of your comment here. *(Picks jaw
up from floor.)* Thanks for your contribution to this discussion.
It will take me some time to digest all the references in your comment. However, if I can ask a
couple of questions first...
- Do you think these changed mappings should be rolled back at least temporarily, so there is more
time to work on documentation, etc?
- Do you think there is any value in providing both 'strict' and... uh... 'not
strict' SJIS conversion modes which could be selected via an .INI setting or the like? Or would
that just be adding complexity with little real benefit to PHP users?
(Of course, if we did add a config setting, 99% of users would probably never read the
documentation, and would never know about it or use it.)
