As there seems no obvious reason to get the function overloading
setting to resort to the system option, I'm going to revert the
patch for bug #27421 (mbstring.func_overload set in .htaccess
becomes global) and add a notice to the document that
using the setting in per-dir configuration is discouraged.

I personally don't like the feature because it prevents us
from writing portable scripts and I know it's a fairly evil
hack (or whatever you name it), however it doesn't make sense
to change such a critical thing during the RC period IHMO.

Any comments?

P.S. I didn't manage to reproduce the problem and I think
the bug was fixed by the patches for bug #25753
(php_value|flag / php_admin_*  settings "leak" from
vhosts/.htaccess files)
