1. ZEND_INI_SYSTEM and make people run two copies of Apache if they want
both modes. This is architecturally more simple and more robust, I believe.
2. ZEND_INI_PERDIR and let people switch modes as described above. This
is a lot of work and will probably result in quite a few edge cases
where we used to rely on stability of one mode (such as APC or
serialization, for example).
I think it would be best for all of us to go the more robust route
and make unicode.semantics only changeable in php.ini.
I concur.
Me too, if it counts any. I think the people that really need Unicode support (aka most of the world) will have it enabled as soon as it's possible to do so, and those that don't (USA and some of Europe) won't care about it enough to adopt until they get a Chinese client or so. At which point they'll have to change their ideas anyway...
