During Derick's talk about PHP 6 at PHP Vikinger, I started to wonder what exactly was the reasoning behind adding something like "unicode.semantics" option. Derick didn't remember, neither did I. Apparently it's another one of these "register_globals" or "magic_quotes_*" directives we'll remove in PHP 7? :D I mean, if PHP 6 is about unicode, why upgrade to PHP 6 and disable it? Just stay with PHP 5 then..
Apparently there is a certain amount of users (undefined/undefinable masses) who like to use PHP6 new features (?) without unicode. The arguments were about the incompatibilities (the zend fatal errors are likely to cause more troubles :) and performance. I was one who likes to have a single mode: unicode. --Pierre
