Right, I'm sure those two cases are different. I just wanted to illustrate
that there are quite a few aspects to think of before excluding / including

people out there who will easily be bothered by that change.
If you doubt it is safely disabled, please look through the relevant part of
mbstring, and if you still have questions, please ask me then.

underground kong-foo coder syndicate, though I'm Japanese and not good at
any marshal art stuff :)
