Would the world really end for people who write NEW apps in a NEW
version of PHP, #6, if they had to put u"foo" to get their nifty
new-fangled Unicode strings?...
Surely that is better than making a BC break of gigantic proportions
for the unwashed masses that don't know a charset from a croquette and
having NOBODY move to PHP 6 except a handful of large corporations...
