 Replying to [comment:12 link92]:
 > Also, there are plenty of copies of PHP with a PCRE that doesn't have
 Unicode support enabled at all. This has been a fair issue for Habari
 (which requires PHP 5.2.x), I imagine it'll be a lot worse for something
 that requires PHP 4.3.0.

 I would think that we just need examples of how these fail so we can do it
 gracefully instead. I doubt we would build alternatives for them though.
