Hi!
> Has the requirement for a truly clean unicode version of PHP actually gone away?
The requirement hasn't, but nobody is willing to lead the task. And it's
not an easy one. IMHO variable names are by far the least important part
of it - I don't know of any code that can't be done using ASCII only :)
> function as simply wrong. Lets just drop case insensitivity.
That pretty much precludes smooth upgrade to 6.0 for existing
applications. I don't see much value in it. And again, case
insensitivity wasn't a problem for Unicode engine (we can't use tolower
there of course but we can use case folding).
