That's what I would like to avoid. Because if you need namespaces, then
you want to segment your naming space. If you in the same time pollute
the global space with non-namespaced function names, the whole namespace
business is kind of meaningless. Or you want your library no

Maybe strings should be UTF-8 until declared otherwise or something,
because this just won't fly...
UTF8 would not help you with bits (since nobody guarantees you incoming
data is valid UTF-8) and it's impossible to do any unicode stuff on
utf-8 - you'd have to convert it to utf-16 and back on
It adds only the Unicode feature that a tiny niche market needs,
because everything else will be back-ported to PHP 5.
I'm not sure assumption that unicode is needed only for "tiny niche
market" is entirely correct.

That got me confused a bit. I was wondering whether the following would

sequence inside what is

I don't think there's any way of having both unstructured character data
