Re: [PHP-I18N] adding GB18030 support for mbstring

Koizumi-san

Let me tell you the one concern about mbstring-ng.
The current mbstring supports 'ISO-2022-JP-MS', this is different from
'ISO-2022-JP'. And the current implementation of ICU can not convert 
between ISO-2022-JP-MS and unicode correctly, I guess.
For example, Japanese hankaku katakana, GA, A with a sonant mark.

Although it's better way to modify ICU itself, it takes long time.
How do you think of this?
