Hey Tony,

First off, thanks for caring :)

Not fix the streams issue?

Thanks!

This is the biggest problem, isn't it - that things like this obviously 
hadn't been tested until now. I fixed the same issue in Phar last week - it 
probably will need un-fixing there once your patch goes in :\

I would've hoped that PHP 6 would be Unicode throughout. Maybe jumping 
around when Andrei removed the physical switch was premature... obviously 
the UG(unicode) checks are still in place, whereas their binary alternatives 
shouldn't still exist. Then again some things are unclear. What should 
happen with pack(), for example?
