Let me tell you the one concern about mbstring-ng.
The current mbstring supports 'ISO-2022-JP-MS', this is different from
'ISO-2022-JP'. And the current implementation of ICU can not convert
between ISO-2022-JP-MS and unicode correctly, I guess.
For example, Japanese hankaku katakana, GA, A with a sonant mark.
Although it's better way to modify ICU itself, it takes long time.
How do you think of this?
