Hi!
        - make strtoupper/strtolower etc. to work with ascii only
This would be a bad idea, however much better idea is to make *system* case folding (i.e. methods, classes, etc.) use ascii-only. Which we already mostly do (see zend_operators.c it explains what's going on). Of course, there can be instances of using the wrong function.

In a dynamic language like PHP it's a very normal and basic case handling language features dynamically including the one described in the bug report (Find an upper case constant for the given input). What I mean is that we should have basic functions addressing this. So for example we need a basic function to upper/lower case only ascii characters. Marc
