Personally I'd be voting yes on the principle. However as the topic =
brought controversial opinions in the past, IMHO it is better to solve =
it through an RFC. Especially when the idea expands over zend_string API =
later, evermore devs and code will be forced by the rules, so it is =
essential to ensure the majority wants it in first place. And, I =
wouldn't hurry it into 7.0.
