Subject: unicode.semantics ad infinitum
From: steph@zend.com ("Steph Fox")

Hi all,

Is there any chance of getting the unicode.semantics issue sorted soon?

We put phar into php-src yesterday. I updated the extension in CVS HEAD just 
to allow it to build, but it'd be good to have forward/sideward 
compatibility from 5.3.0 in my view (and Greg's).

I wrote a macro to allow us to use the same code for the extension in both 
branches, but it occurs to me that the zstr union definition might change or 
even disappear when PHP 6 becomes Unicode-only. Is that likely? I don't 
know. So keeping it all together is total guesswork at present.

Clues would be good at this stage. I.e. if zstr is definitely staying in its 
present form it'd be good to know that today.

Thanks,

- Steph
