The RFC is really a good writeup, very much appreciated.
I've voted no because I'm not entirely convinced the current approach
suits PHP long-term. I absolutely appreciate the hard work going into
it, no doubt, and I rather have a solution yesterday than tomorrow.
But I think a proper Unicode implementation in PHP must not rely on
puzzle pieces put together without a clear goal where's we're overall
heading.
I know that the latter has been tried and failed (multiple times) but
that's how I feel about the situation.
