Re: Starting on Unicode docs

First, phpdoc contribution seems to be at a low. There's not much going on right now, and seemingly not many people willing to pitch in (myself included -- I've been lax lately). That said, technically, we could probably pretty easily add a proto "U" parser and add a &unicode.safe; entity to most applicable functions/sections. Adding unicode notes could be done on a function-by-function basis; no need for a dedicated section, as this hopefully won't affect most functions. If the same issues affect a large subset of functions, we can come up with entities for this, too. Another thing that you and I have discussed, but I've never passed on to the list is the new proto markup for traditional strings vs. unicode strings vs. binary strings. Anyone got thoughts on this? S
