RE: removing ereg from default PHP package (was [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP-CVS] cvs: php-src(PHP_5_2) / run-tests.php )

I guess I missed the part of removing the extension. I very much agree with using PCRE in the Core instead of ereg() and enabling PCRE by default. However, I think it's a bad idea to unbundle ereg. I think a huge amount of PHP apps depend on ereg() and it would be a real PITA for our users if we unbundle it from the default distro. I think we should just disable it by default and keep it in the bundle. If we're worried about Unicode strings, we can just emit an E_WARNING or E_ERROR if Unicode strings are passed to it. But for the sanity of our users, we should keep it in the default package.
