Added ENT_IGNORE as a compatibility flag to skip invalid multibyte
sequences instead of returning an empty string (as iconv's //IGNORE).
These functions will still never return an invalid or incomplete
multibyte sequence.
Example: htmlspecialchars("...", ENT_QUOTES | ENT_COMPAT, "utf-8");

Actually "The tool" to use for incoming data is the filter extension..

Not considering this as a bug (or rather a regression) is a major flaw
IMO.
htmlspecialchars() is *THE* tool that developers are encouraged to use
when escaping output of data that comes from an unknown source. By
nature you can't always rely on this data to be perfectly valid. People
copy and paste from Word to HTML forms and do all kind of weird stuff to
get data into a website.
Simply discarding the complete data just because it's not a completely
valid character stream is going break all kind of websites with user
generated content.
