Bug description:Array index limitation

Description:
------------
Array indexes, although they can be strings, are not allowed to contain
national characters, even if encoded as UTF-8.
Thus, a string like "øvinger" becomes "vinger", and "Æsop" becomes
"sop".
This is very unfortunate.

My example builds an array of "name only" indexes, all in lower case.
Each entry of the array contains the complete filename of the corresponding
file.
This serves as a fast and relatively safe method to find the correct path
to a file, regardless of case.

I tested using, among others, a file named "php/Øvinger.php".
DS is Directory Separator (/),
$filetypes is an array containing file types to search for (like "php")
lowercase and name_only should be self-explanatory.

Test script:
---------------
//      First time only: Find all php files in
//      the 'php', 'inc' and 'txt' directories.

if (!isset ($_SESSION['long']))
{       $_SESSION['long'] = array();
        foreach ($filetypes as $dir)
        {       $files = glob ($dir.DS."*.$dir");
// Save all info for each file. This means that we won't have to
                foreach ($files as $file)               // search any more.
                {       $name = lowercase(name_only ($file));
                        $_SESSION['long'][$name] = $file;
                }
        }
}


Expected result:
----------------
$_SESSION['long']['øvinger'] contains "php/Øvinger"




Actual result:
--------------
$_SESSION['long']['vinger'] contains "php/Øvinger"
