Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] What is the use of "unicode.semantics" in PHP 6?
From: thetaphi@php.net ("Uwe Schindler")

That sounds "good" in my ears.

Software that relys on "old" non-unicode behaviour must be written in a =
way two handle non-unicode and Unicode behaviour in two different ways.
But for example a rewritten "Squirrelmail" that runs exlusively on PHP6 =
would be a good thing.

So you could write on your release notes: "We have this new version =
SquirrelMail++ that=E2=80=99s running only on hosts running PHP6. Using =
this would be a great speed and performance increase, because the =
Unicode addons are only available here. If you need an old non-unicode =
version, you have to stay with our old historic version." The old =
historic Squirrelmail version without Unicode support would be stays =
supported until some time. But all users would know: If I want to have =
new features, I should think about a change to PHP6, all other users =
could stay on the old version.

In the case of the fantastic software "SquirrelMail++PHP6-only" (which I =
would use on my servers, too) I would think in this direction!
