It is as easy to install two different PHP versions as one with
unicode.semantics On and one with unicode.semantics Off since it's
PHP_INI_SYSTEM. But depending on that setting you get incompatible,
different products with the same name which will just produce way more
problems to hosters and developers of software for "PHP 6".
