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.
