This also make bug chasing more difficult and as we have to maintain two separate pieces of code that do the same thing. Just have a look at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16985 which is caused by different behaviour of main/php_variables.c and ext/mbstring/mbstring.c. Could we please turn this feature off by default?
