Re: RFC about automatic template escaping

Hi Daniel, When I write scripts that need to behave the same independently of the value of mbstring.func_overload then I have to remember to be careful with the functions it affects. It's a drag. I resent having to write things like mb_strlen($str, '8bit') to get a byte-count knowing that the scripts would be cleaner and easier to understand if I could dictate the value of mbstring.func_overload (or if it had never been invented). Would your proposal have any sort of similar effect? I mean, would it complicate the task of HTML-escaping output when the scripts need to work the same regardless of the '__auto_escape' ini setting?
