Just my last comment (probably) on this and then I stop, I think I don't
have anything more say:
Yes, I think it would be a good idea to make *PHP free*. IMHO, one company
has now too much control in it, it's not good for the language in general.
Unless, of course, you are willing to put the encoding feature into PHP core
by default.
