That simplifies things. I actually believe that the word about this has
to spread, since I am not the only one with the impression that these
functions are going.[1][2][3]
I can not find any open bugs on this, but did find the meeting notes
that confirms Andrei's message.[4]
As for mixed messages. Is not the fact that they are listed on this
page: http://www.php.net/~scoates/unicode/render_func_data.php an
indication that the work already has been done?
Also: Am I correct in assuming that the new ICU-based ctype functions
will use locale_set_default() instead of setlocale()?
(A side note: Will the preg-functions continue to use setlocale()?)
And finally, I hope my asking these questions are not out of place. I
chose this list since I need authoritative answers and my questions are
about internals issues. I beg your forgiveness if I have contributed to
any unnecessary noise.
