Although, I was about to propose this RFC for future PHP release.
It may be better to have alternative mbstring implementation *now*. i.e.
for 5.6
If we are going to make this a standard.
It could be implemented to compile mbstring or mbstring-ng as user's choice.
mbstring-ng can be marked as EXPERIMENTAL until it's implementation is
finished. Distributors may use conflict option for their package to provide
both.
