I believe PCRE's generally quicker into the bargain anyway. We've already told people we're killing ereg, and there are good reasons to do so regardless of Unicode (lack of binary safety being the main one, with the needless duplication with PCRE being another). Let's keep it deprecated and kill it when it makes sense to do so (next major, or if and when Unicode comes back at some future date).
