Yup, I've been keeping tabs on the progress of PHP 6, and I watched a
database system do the big switch a couple of years ago. Given the
lack of unicode safety in PHP, I would expect to run into problems
with things like modifier plugins - all it takes is a single
preg_replace or str_replace and it's going to break, so I was
wondering how you go about ensuring that doesn't happen.
