I have already said to Stefan. It is not an option. I need backwards compatibility. If older PHP versions fail with E_PARSE errors, I can't use it. I can't maintain two different library versions, because issue affect lots of functions. Currently I can only stop script execution, if unicode.semantics=on is detected. Main complain is the fact that scripts can't control mbstring.func_overload and unicode.semantics. Only script writters know, if their code depends on overloading or unicode syntax. End users might be unable to change settings in PHP_INI_PERDIR.
