Ilia, we need to try to avoid this sort of thinking. This "vast majority"
is most likely only a "vocal majority" these days. It is very likely that
the non-mb users are actually the "few" and if we continue along your way
of thinking then we need to have an ext/singlebyte that implements all
these weird singlebyte string manipulation functions.
We need to move towards a uniform platform that works for everyone without
putting undue strain on either side.
